Calling all adventurers! Have you always wondered what Dungeons & Dragons was all about? Join us to get started in the exciting world of D&D! This is a game in which we foster teamwork, responsibility, and friendships. The three pillars of the game are exploration, social interaction, and combat.

Suitable for 7-12 grade! Come one, come all to the Oasis Makerspace every Tuesday after school 4-5:30, starting Aug. 29th (the second week of school).

Due to unforeseen miscommunication, the 8th grade t-shirt fundraiser had a little hiccup and orders were canceled and refunded. After speaking with the company, we were able to get them to relaunch the campaign for items to be purchased through August 25th. Unfortunately, if you previously placed an order and then received a refund, you will need to place a new order for those items.
We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and hope you will be able to purchase your 8th grader's shirt/hoodie to represent their chosen theme for the 2023-2024 school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the NJHS Advisor, Racquel Feest, at rfeest@oanv.org.
Thank you for supporting OA's 8th graders and National Junior Honor Society!
