Oak Trace Weekly
Update
March 25, 2022
A note from Mrs. Hitch
Hello Oak Trace Families!
Happy Friday! I hope you've had a wonderful week despite the cold and rainy weather! Thanks
to everyone who came out for Movie Night last Friday. It was wonderful to see so many of you
here. Thank you to those who volunteered and organized it! We appreciate you!!!
This week Jordan Scott was our principal of the day on Monday. Lucas Boyd was the principal
of the day on Wednesday. They won those from the winter festival. They did a great job serving
in their roles!
It's been fun to see so many activities this month. Our enrichment classes are ending this
week. The fashion show for the Fashion Frenzy class was amazing! Third grade learning clubs
end next week. Our first graders did a great job with their production of Mr. Rogers and having
been working hard on their animal books. Third grade has been busy working on biographies
and creating neat projects based on what they have learned. Our fourth graders' Famous
Hoosier reports were incredible. So proud of our students and staff!
There will be no school Friday, April 1st for spring break. School will resume Monday April
11th. There will not be a newsletter next week. I hope you have a wonderful spring break with
your families!!
