Oark School

Attention, Agents! Our Book Blast event starts next week. We will set off on a mission to build our students' home libraries. Follow the steps on the Treasure Map coming home next week to embark on this operation to earn exciting prizes and books. 🗺️🌟 @go.booksarefun #bookblastadventures #bookblast #booksarefun

Shooting Sports meeting for this afternoon is cancelled. It will be rescheduled.

Just a reminder that we are in cold and flu season. 🤒 Illness is hitting school hard right now. It is presenting with a wide range of symptoms including headache, dizziness, body aches, fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. 😞 School policy is students must be fever free/vomit free WITHOUT medication and improving symptoms before they can return to school. Thank you for helping keep our students and staff healthy and well!

Senior night is next Tuesday, 2/10. Parents will escort the seniors to the floor to honor them in between the games! We hope you can join us to celebrate our amazing seniors! :)

Any archers planning to attend this weekend’s shoot need to get ahold of Coach Karah by noon tomorrow for flight times & arrangements for bows please Karah.carter@jasper.k12.ar.us

Archery students went home with a note today to contact Coach Karah if they need the address or flight times for the upcoming shoot. It'll be at Burlsworth. Please arrive an hour before your scheduled flight time. Good luck this weekend!

Kiss the Goat fundraiser starts tomorrow! Help us raise money for our Field Day water slide! :) Every coin or dollar counts! 💜

We’re hosting a fun and slightly dramatic school fundraiser where students can vote for their favorite (or bravest!) staff member by placing money into labeled jugs with staff photos.

The staff member with the MOST POINTS will have to KISS THE GOAT! 😆
And the best part? All proceeds go toward the favorite part of Field Day… the WATER SLIDE! 💦

🪙 How Points Work:

1 penny = 1 point

1 nickel = 5 points

1 dime = 10 points

1 quarter = 25 points

$1 bill = 100 points

$5 bill = 500 points

$10 bill = 1,000 points

$20 bill = 2,000 points

Every cent counts! Students may bring money from home and place it in the jug of the staff member they want to see lock lips with a goat 🐐💄.

Thank you for supporting our school and helping make Field Day unforgettable!

✨ Let the goat drama begin! ✨
