A NOTE FROM THE ADMINISTRATION
Mustangs,
As we close out another month and step into March, as always, we are excited to share updates. We continue to look forward to the amazing things happening here at Oakwood Adventist Academy.
A new month brings about new opportunities, events and achievements as we continue to foster an enriching learning environment for each of our students.
This month, we are especially excited about the Scholastic Book Fair that will be hosted by OAA HandS in our library located in the elementary building along with other events and activities being planned to ensure a great time to be had by all.
We continue to have pride in our hearts for the growth and progress our students have shown so far this school year. We appeciate your ongoing support and partnership in making this school year our best one yet.
Enjoy issue 9 of Mustang News!
Blessings,
The OAA Administration

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to our school! Our kick off date is Monday, March 3, 2025. Again, this is an opportunity to connect with your child over the thrill of bringing new books to dive into again and again.
Studies have proven that children read more when they choose books for themselves. A love for independent reading boosts academic success. Children who read more frequently also report improved mental health!
Here are the details:
March 3 - 7, 2025
Daily 9AM - 11AM & 1PM -3PM
OAA Library (Located in Elementary Building)

IT'S A BOOK BUFFET!
Think book report, but make it fun and creative. Ms. Webb's Third grade class had a Book Buffet.
The Book Buffet project invites students to creatively “serve up” their book reports as if they were a delicious buffet, blending different food elements to represent the key components of the book.
Each report is visually designed like a meal, with clear sections that combine both literary analysis and creative presentation, encouraging students to engage with their books in a unique and enjoyable way.
We've also included the movie trailer for our 3rd grade superstars in their pictorial tour!
