Oak Crest Elementary Newsletter

What a great week we had at Oak Crest! Our first graders got a visit from the Broken Arrow Fire Department and learned all about fire safety. We are looking forward to celebrating 5th grader Felix Knight at tonight's BA varsity football game as Oak Crest's QT Game Changer of the Week!

We are in the middle of Manners Month at Oak Crest. Next week we will focus on using table manners in the cafeteria; just like a restaurant! Feel free to extend this initiative at home with your students during meal times. 🍽️

Please let us know if there is anything we can help with. We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Calling all football fans! The season is off to a great start so why not get your bodies in shape just like the athletes we cheer for! Follow the directions on the flyer to enjoy a fun, family activity! Extra points if you send Coach Haueter a picture of you completing the exercises (shaueter@baschools.org)! Have fun!

Last week I hosted the first "Coffee with the Counselor." We discussed Bullying and enjoyed McDonald's coffee and some donuts. If you had to miss the event, I am attaching the handout so you can see what was discussed. The next "Coffee with the Counselor" will be coming up in November. We will discuss Online Safety. Keep your eyes out for more information!

Also, beginning this week, I am going into the classrooms to do lessons with your students. This month's lessons are as follows:

• Kindergarten: Feelings

• 1st grade: Being a good friend

• 2nd grade: Being a helping hand

• 3rd grade: Setting goals and staying focused

• 4th grade: We can do hard things

• 5th grade: Accepting challenges

Our Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) focus for the month of September is MANNERS! Each week staff and students will focus on a different aspect in this area. Please partner with us at home!

Cash or check may be sent with your student, or you may come pay in the office. Pay for the year by September 16th and get one month of Freckles for free!
