Last year our Oakwood Mustangs were denied the opportunity to play in the championship games. This was due to the denial of our request for a time change as we were not going to play during Sabbath hours. We won our case, the AHSAA rules and regulations were modified to ensure that  the same thing we endured last year wouldn't happen again. 

Our boys varsity team put in the work this season as they held the spot as #1 for our area while simultaneously playing against a system. On Tuesday, February 14, 2023 our OAA Mustangs earned a redemptive win against Spring Garden High School in Piedmont, AL.

Due to that win, not only have our guys earned the opportunity to play at the state championship games, they also have the chance to become state champions! 

Please continue to keep them in your prayers and show your support in whatever way you can as they prepare to head to Jacksonville State University on Monday, February 20, 2023 to play at 7:30pm against Faith Christian.

We celebrated international week by selecting a country that each class would research, do presentations and display both in and outside of their classrooms.

The goal of the international cultural week is to promote cultural diversity by showcasing different types of cultural expression. This lends to the encouragement of inclusive, equitable and vibrant participation by our students when it comes to the arts, culture and heritage sectors. We want to be sure there is an awareness of different cultures which ultimately lends to an understanding of the importance when it comes to cultural diversity.

We visited Africa, Jamaica, India and China just to name a few. Students had passports and received stamps upon visiting each of the countries represented.

Please enjoy this pictorial tour.

OAA HandS welcomes parent participation in support of our OAA school programs (grades K-6, 7-8, 9-12). We promote a positive and beneficial partnership with OAA Administration and Teachers. Research indicates many positive outcomes for children when parents volunteer and actively participate in their child’s school.

Follow these simple steps to become a successful OAA In-School Volunteer:

Step 1. Fill out this Google survey form to submit your name for service as an OAA volunteer.

Step 2. Complete the mandatory South Central Conference risk assessment. The link to begin the risk assessment can be found in the Google survey form.

Please use the following for the assessment:

Union: Southern Union

Conference: South Central

Step 3. You will be contacted by the OAA HandS Parent Coordinators for final review:

Parent Coordinator: Tawnya Laughinghouse (tpl3222@gmail.com)

Asst. Parent Coordinator (K-6): Shantel Wise

Asst. Parent Coordinator (7-8): Charmaine Woode

Asst. Parent Coordinator (9-12): Tarshall Dublin

OAA HandS and OAA Administration believe that volunteering and visiting within the school building is a privilege. As part of a team supporting student success, you are very important to OAA as a school volunteer.

These volunteer guidelines are established for the benefit of our children, whose needs are our highest

priority.

It is so important to keep growing, aspiring to do more, enhancing, and developing our school program. One, among many of the goals in the SCC is to have 100% of its schools implementing Oratorical Contests, STEM programs, Spelling Bees, Music Programs, Math Competitions, Flight programs (flight assimilators in the academies), etc. for our students.

We are excited to announce that OAA is one of the SCC schools making that vision a reality! We will host the Be Bold Oratorical Contest on Friday, March 17, 2023.

The contest is for grades 7-12. Please note the requirements and prizes on the flier.

Email oaainfo@myoaa.org with any questions. 

In 2013, AmazonSmile launched to make it easier for customers to support their favorite charities. Amazon was very excited about the potential for the program and the impact it could have for many charitable organizations such as OAA. We want to thank you for selecting OAA as your charitable organization over the years.

On January 18, 2023, Amazon announced they have made plans to wind down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023. Until this date, customer purchases made via AmazonSmile will continue to accrue funds for OAA (if listed as your charity) as normal. Though AmazonSmile will no longer be available, you will still be able to support the OAA product lists as we share them.

As COVID continues to evolve we want to be sure to keep our OAA Community abreast of the expectations from the South Central Conference pertaining to the guidelines and expectations. You can view the full update here.
