The students have spent the last few afternoons working on crafts to welcome in the cold weather. The crafts have included snowglobes, marshmallow snowmen, paper plate snowmen, almost any kind of snowman you could imagine! Have fun playing in the snow!

Thank you for all your support as parents and family as we worked hard to put on our Annual Christmas Production, and a HUGE thank you to Jason, our speech therapist for the countless hours that he put into helping everything run smoothly. We also want to thank the SHS Student Council for all the lunches they spent with the students rehearsing lines and blocking! It was a huge success Monday night!
Here's a peek into some of the rehearsals.
Kathleen's class received a welcome surprise from Santa this week in preparation for Christmas. He checked up and down his list and all the students were on his nice list. Keep an eye out for Santa on Christmas morning!
We want to throw a shout-out to the new tech in Tasha's class, Chad. Welcome to Oakridge! The students love him!
The students at Oakridge were able to go to the Bean Museum at BYU today. There were lots of animals to see, but the live animal show was the favorite of the students! There were lots of laughs as the presentor brought around the live turtle, tarantula, and corn snake for the students to feel and see.
Testing out our new equipment here at Oakridge!
