Make sure you are practicing for Thursday’s Mathathon. The practice tests are available for you on ILearn.

You may have noticed or even used the big blue bins in the school parking lot. We want to give a big shout-out to Midwest Recycling and all our families and neighbors who made donations of clothing. Oakman School was a leading school in collecting donations, therefore we were awarded a check by Midwest Recycling. Thank you Midwest Recycling for your supporting our students.
