This weekend Oakman students competed in the annual Martian Marathon at Ford Field in Dearborn. Congratulations to Afnan Hassan, Jibreel Jadallah and Bayanne Jadallah for running and representing Oakman. Thank you also to Coach Southers for your support and commitment to our students.

Happy Monday!

We have a busy week planned ahead. We are hopeful for warmer weather and spending more time outdoors. All students should continue to read on a daily basis. Creative ideas like reading in the park, to a neighbor or even a cozy spot in the backyard may spark interest and further encouragement for our students.  Also, consider spending time reading yourself;  if kids see you reading, they are more likely to enjoy and value reading themselves!
