Dear Oak View,
Our Heritage Night was a vibrant celebration of Oak View's diverse cultures! It was wonderful to see so many families, staff, and our new principal, Jamie Luerssen, come together for this special event. A huge thank you to our dedicated School Culture Committee and Heritage Night leads, especially Francheska Dishmey, Sabrina Kamberis, and Sherry Giuseppe. We're so grateful for the many families and students who showcased their heritages, reminding us that we are stronger together. From the delicious food to the captivating performances, Heritage Night truly showcased the beauty of our Oak View family. Thank you for your partnership!
Mrs. Adams

Ramadan Observation
If your student is observing Ramadan, please fill out this Ramadan Participation Questionnaire so we can coordinate on both a prayer schedule and a lunch alternative location for them, if needed.
Thanks to a new program from the Virginia Department of Education, students who are fasting during the school day between February 28 and March 28 can now take school meal kits home at the end of the day. Families will need to fill out a weekly Fasting Meals Request Form for their child or children to receive school meal kits. A separate form must be filled out for each week and each student.To receive meal kits for Friday, February 28, and the week of March 3, please submit the first request form by Monday, February 24. Visit the FNS webpage for more information, including weekly request forms and deadlines.
Author Debra Shumaker Visits Oak View
Students were excited to become scientists this week when author Debra Shumaker visited our grade 2 and 3 students this week. Students practiced making observations and predictions while reading along with Freaky, Funky Fish. We appreciate Marcie Atkins's work in arranging these student visits.
