No School/Offices Closed on Monday. January 15, 2024
Welcome back to our Tiger Ticket drawing! We are having double winners today, since we were lucky enough to have a snow day last Friday and then again on Tuesday. This large group won a set of scented stickers and should allow them to smell good the rest of the weekend.
We also have our two additional Novel Nala winners! Such a lucky group to be picked from all the tiger tickets turned in this week! Enjoy and congratulations!
These Swiftie girls are ready for the Chiefs game tomorrow!!
Join us on a No School Day, Monday, January 15 for an Oak Street Spirit Day at Papa’s General Store, The Arcade, and Sweet ‘n Saucy! You can pick one or go to all 3 places! Each store will donate 20%. Just mention you are there for Oak Street Elementary!
Congratulations to Shae Enegren (1st Grade Teacher at Oak Street Elementary School) and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Toribio (Mixed Abilities Teacher at Eisenhower Middle School) for being recognized today with the 2024 Kansas Horizon Award! Each school district can nominate one elementary educator and/or one secondary educator. Goddard USD 265 nominated both Enegren and Toribio, and both won!
The Kansas Commissioner of Education, Dr. Randy Watson, took time to individually call each recipient, inform them and congratulate them. Enegren and Toribio are two of only 32 educators in the state to win this award for excellence in their first year of teaching. According to the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE), the Horizon Award "identifies and recognizes representatives of excellent teaching in the elementary and secondary classrooms of the state." Goddard Public Schools could not be more proud of our Horizon Award winners, as well as all of the excellent educators that call USD 265 home. Thank you for all you do to make our school communities an environment of excellence for our students, staff and families!
Please join us in congratulating Shae & Lizzie on this prestigious award - very well deserved!

Tiger Ticket Winners! Breakfast at Mr. B’s this morning
Here's a message for all of our Oak Street Tigers!!
Special thank you to our PTO and K Crew Grill for providing lunch today.
Lost and Found is overflowing!!!! We've placed items on a table in the entry way so if you're coming for the party today, please take a peek.
We found out winners early for our Tiger Trait drawing! We have a lucky 5 that showed they either were responsible, respectful, and or persevered sometime this week to earn at least one ticket. This group has a great reward for doing so. They get to go with Mrs. Miller on January 4th to Mr. B's donut shop for breakfast!
We also are showing off our two Novel Nala winners. They will celebrate with a fun time after the break with Mrs. G and Nala.
Keep showing your Tiger Traits to your family throughout the break students. You make us so proud!
We wish you a safe, warm and happy holiday season!!
Santa was definitely loose in the building again, but he was really hiding! The lucky three staff members who ended up with Santa won a filled cosmetic bag from Amy Dopps and a free drink coupon from CoFellow. Congratulations Carol Edminsten, Diane Soza and Gini Brownell. Thanks to CoFellow and Amy Dopps for the great prizes!
Oh the fun reindeer games we play at Oak Street! The staff learned that Santa was on the loose this week at Oak Street! Today three Santa's started the morning in the pockets of staff members. If a staff member was asked and they had Santa in their pocket, they had to hand him over. There were lots of hi, hellos and have you seen Santa questions throughout the building.
The three lucky winners today that ended up with Santa in their pocket at the end of the day: Mai Fairchild, Kinsey Miller and Ann Millar each won a gift card from Cofellow. These were donated by one of our PTO members, Casey Jo Gemmill. Thank you Casey Jo for warming the hearts of these three staff members. Santa will be out again tomorrow morning!
