Bring Your Child to Work Day at Oakcrest was a huge success last week! 🎉 Teachers went above and beyond to create hands-on, engaging activities for staff members children, including meeting friendly snakes, outdoor ropes course, learning how FTV is created, building rockets, creating art projects, making slime, and so much more.
It was a day full of curiosity, creativity, and connection as little Falcons explored, experimented, and learned alongside our dedicated staff and students. Experiences like these make Oakcrest such a special place to learn and grow!
