Raising Funds for Teaching Tools

Day of Reading, our annual student-led fundraiser celebrating our love of reading, kicked off this week. This year, students are raising money to support ‘Teaching Tools’ – a Parent Council fund that directly supports students and teachers by fulfilling special classroom requests for one-time asks – like new digital cameras, books for classroom libraries, and special field trips.

Supporting OYES

Several weeks ago, Oak Grove students voted to share a portion of the proceeds with a local non-profit. This year, they’re supporting OYES (Ojai Youth Entertainers Studio), a beloved non-profit organization dedicated to challenging, inspiring, educating & entertaining children and families in the Ojai Valley through the experience of quality theatre, dance, and music!

Enjoying a Fun Day of Reading Together

On Friday, February 14, the actual Day of Reading, Oak Grove students, faculty, staff, and participating parenting-adults plan to come to school in their jammies, along with a favorite stuffed toy and a treasured book, for a day spent exploring the magic of words and pictures. Before then, students can send requests to aunts, uncles, grandparents, family friends, and neighbors to sponsor them to read (or be read to) on February 14.

Thank you students and happy reading!
