We are starting off Neurodiversity Week on Motivational Monday with Kelsie Burr as our featured staff member. We all Celebrate Minds of all Kinds! Such a fun reminder, and so absolutely true! Wishing everyone the best Monday!
On Friday, Mrs. Enegren's class finally got to meet their pen pals from Kennedy Elementary School in Wellington. Mrs. Enegren's class have been writing letters back and forth once a month since August to Mrs. Miller's class. Mrs. Miller (Miss Delaney) used to be a paraprofessional at Oak Street so many of Mrs. Enegren's students already knew her. The students have really come to love their pen pals and are always so excited to hear from them.
We had some twinning in the lunchroom on Friday
Thursday, April 18th from 3-10pm is Oak Street Night at Chick Fil A near Maple and Ridge. Chick Fil A will donate 20% of proceeds from our supporters back to Oak Street. Make sure to tell them you are there for the Spirit Night. For mobile orders, use the Organization CODE “community” (case sensitive).
What a fun week it has been! Lots of Tiger Traits shown, so that means lots of tickets in the drawing. Congratulations to this amazing group. They won a fun Brain-Teaser puzzle called Kanoodle!
We also have a good looking group of staff members that had tickets in the Tiger Ticket drawing (Mrs. Douglass also won, but is already at a very important baseball game for her son). It is fun for the kids to spot all the adults modeling their Tiger Traits throughout the week. They each won a 10 dollar gift card to a few local places! Congrats to this bunch as well!
Lots of great updates!

Meet Bevo!! Bevo is a 1.5 year old GoldenDoodle. Bevo is named after the Texas Longhorns mascot. Our Social Worker, Sarah Barrett, got Bevo at 8 weeks old and he began training shortly after. He first attended a 4 week all day puppy class, followed by Basic Manners and Obedience, K9 good citizen and then he passed his Therapy Dog International test on 1/18/24. Bevo has been taking the transition to work slowly and is getting better every day! When he isn't at school, he spends his day lounging on the couch or at doggy daycare with his friends. The students are enjoying him and we are so happy he is here to make a positive impact on both staff and students' lives.
Tonight is the Pre-K Enrollment Event at Challenger Intermediate School 325 N. Walnut from 4:30-7:30 PM.

Good morning on this beautiful Motivational Monday! The Girls on the Run Coaches wanted to remind us all that Girls on the Run is so much fun! This is their weekly chant and I am told the girls in third and fourth grade that are running absolutely love it! Thanks for the reminder to have fun with whatever you are doing! Thanks also for volunteering your time ladies! We appreciate you!
Did you know you can't lick your own elbow? (Did you just try?!?) These Tiger Ticket winners are going to learn this fact and many more! They won the drawing this week and earned a fun book titled Silly Facts for Silly Kids. I bet they will be ready to share with everyone what they learned. Thanks for showing your tiger traits this week! We are very proud of you!
Lots of great updates!
Twinning again at OAK Street
Today we are celebrating the dream team in our Oak Street Library! We would like to recognize and thank both Ms. Gerstner and Mrs. Soza on National School Librarian Day! Ms. Gerstner is an incredible Librarian that brings so many unique opportunities for our students to read, to love reading, and to be motivated to read. Mrs. Soza is the best clerk around. We can always count on her to jump in and help in any way. A big thank you for all you both do for our staff and students.

We are celebrating National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day here at Oak Street. This is just a sampling of our amazing paraprofessionals that help to glue this school together! They bring such happiness, patience, and assistance to our students and staff. Mrs. Miller is treating everyone to a TEAriffic surprise this afternoon for all to celebrate the day!
Happy Tiger Trait Tuesday! Our focus trait this month is Cooperation, so be ready to hear all about it from our students in April. This batch of all boy winners won a book called Silly Facts for Silly Kids! The book is full of fun facts ex. Did you know you use 17 muscles just to smile? I think all 5 winners are using all 17 of their facial muscles in this picture! Congratulations to our winners today. We look forward to another Tiger Ticket drawing on Friday.
4th Grade had a special visit from Lieutenant Machado, a paramedic from Sedgwick County EMS. They got to hear about what it means to be a paramedic and tour an ambulance. What a fun day! 🚑♥️
