Great Oak - Newsletter Volume 12.3

Our Student Advisory Committee recently had the opportunity to give back in a meaningful way through the Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy’s 1 Million Book Giveaway initiative. Students visited Temecula Luiseño Elementary School, where they delivered brand-new books to first-grade classrooms and spent time reading alongside the students.

The visit was filled with smiles, excitement, and genuine connection as our students modeled leadership through service and literacy. By sharing stories and encouraging a love of reading, they helped make learning personal and joyful for our youngest learners.

We are proud of our Student Advisory Committee for representing our school with kindness and purpose, and grateful to the Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy for supporting opportunities that strengthen our community through service.

We are proud to celebrate our “We Elevate” Award winners—staff members who consistently go above and beyond to elevate our campus culture and support students each and every day. Through their dedication, professionalism, and care, they help make Great Oak High School a place where students feel supported and empowered to succeed.

Whether working behind the scenes or directly with students and families, these individuals embody the spirit of service and excellence that defines Great Oak. Their daily efforts strengthen our community and remind us that it is people—committed, compassionate, and driven—who make our campus such a special place.

Congratulations to our “We Elevate” Award recipients, and thank you for the positive impact you make on our students, our staff, and our Wolfpack community.

The ELPAC assessment measures how well students understand English when it is not their primary language. We will be doing ELPAC testing March 9th - 13th.

We are asking for your partnership in addressing an ongoing concern on campus—intentional damage to our restrooms caused by students stuffing toilet paper rolls into toilets and vandalizing bathroom facilities. This behavior disrupts daily operations, creates unsanitary conditions, and takes valuable time and resources away from supporting students.

We ask that families please speak with their students about respecting shared spaces and understanding the impact of these actions on custodial staff and the school community as a whole. When we work together to reinforce expectations of responsibility and respect, we help ensure that our campus remains clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Congratulations to the Spirit of Great Oak on placing 9th place at

Division 4-6 State finals!

Earning a spot at State Championships is something not every band can say that they did this season. Whether the outcome was anticipated, or a total surprise, you all showed dedication, teamwork and spirit, and truly put on a beautiful show!

A shoutout of thanks to the many people who helped make this season a success! Whether you chaperoned, helped at a competition, brought in donations, or simply came out to cheer on your performer, your support does not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate your help!

"Appreciation can make a day, even change a life. Your willingness to put it into words is all that is necessary." - Margaret Cousins
