Mrs. Renfroe's third grade class has been studying life cycles. In honor of Halloween, the class read the book “Pumpkin Jack”. They then carved their own class pumpkin, named Carl, and will watch the life cycle process until the end of the school year. The class will study him as he rots/decomposes, goes to mush and then comes back as a plant.

It's getting colder outside and that means it's time for Oasis Academy National Junior Honor Society's annual Coat Drive! Go through your closets and dig out the coats, jackets, sweatshirts, snow pants, warm hats, gloves, and scarves that your family has outgrown or no longer needs. Give them a spin through the wash and drop them off at the Oasis Academy front office by November 18th. Donations will be distributed to those in need throughout our community. We will take any size or style, clean and gently used, or new if you prefer.
If you have any questions, please email Racquel Feest, NJHS Advisor, rfeest@oanv.org.
