Oakmont Update

December 21, 2024
Oakmont Front

Hello families,

What a wonderful last week before break! Our TK/K students explored their community on a Metrolink trip to Union Station in LA. We also recognized students at our Bucket Filler assembly for demonstrating kindness, integrity, and responsibility. We celebrated students who have run 25 miles or more. We wrapped up the week with our Winter Sting. Our students were so happy to perform and I am so proud of all of them. Thank you for coming yesterday!
