A trio of alumnae from the Class of 2015 returned to campus today for our Upper School’s annual Career Day to speak about their differing journeys in the medical field. 👩⚕️🩺🏥
The speakers were Kathleen Conway ’15, a registered neonatal nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit at Tufts Medical Center, Boston; Margaret Magovern ’15, a third-year medical student at New York Medical College, and Danielle Williams ’15, a first-year physician assistant student at Rutgers University.
They answered student questions about their specific fields, education, favorite aspects of their career, level of math and science needed to pursue a medical career, and more!
Several Lower School classes enjoyed Lunar New Year celebrations this week! 🐇🐇🐇
Kindergarten moms, Mrs. Deng and Mrs. Wang, taught students about the history and customs of the annual celebration while helping them craft a Chinese symbol and giving them special treats.
Later in the week, other students enjoyed a celebration that featured an orange - a symbol of luck and happiness in China. They also colored a dragon and showed off their dragon masks!
Enjoy these wonderful photos of the Choral Music Room by Vittoria G. '27! 📸📸📸
Her photos were part of Ms. Rosen’s eighth-grade class project in which photographers were tasked with capturing some of their favorite Oak Knoll locales.
Check out some photos of the Campion Center by Katie C. '27 that we shared earlier this week!
Mr. Yuhas' physics students experimented with weights, pulleys, and a dynamic cart to reinforce what they have learned about Sir Isaac Newton’s second law of motion.
Oak Knoll's science curriculum enables students to develop a deep understanding of the natural world through empirical inquiry and to recognize the importance of these fields in an age increasingly governed by science and technology.
@baileyparnell, the founder of @SafeSocialMedia.co and CEO of SkillsCamp, discussed the impacts of social media on mental health and how students can practice #SafeSocial.
The talk came after sophomore Zoe H. ’25, connected with Parnell through social media and advocated for her to come to campus to discuss the ever-important topic with our Upper School.
Fourth graders visited a virtual zoo of their own making in a cross-curricular project that allowed them to craft computer-generated ecosystems through the CoSpaces platform. Students also shared positive feedback on each other’s creations through the ‘Glow Zone.’ 🐰🐹🦊🐼
The virtual project was called the “Sense-Sational Zoo” because animals were sorted by their featured sense and the project itself was the culmination of their work studying sense receptors and the brain’s processing of external information.

We’ve broken ground and begun construction on the first of two security kiosks that will be installed at each entrance of the school! 🏗️ 🏗️ 🏗️
The kiosks will help our security staff maintain a presence, oversee visitors and manage traffic flow!
Special thanks to the Oak Knoll Parents Association for their generosity in making this possible!

After reading “Ada's Violin: The Story of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay” by Susan Hood, Mrs. Huck’s fourth graders embraced a project-based learning effort to craft musical instruments using a variety of recycled materials.
Our Lower School embraces project-based learning through a vibrant curriculum that strives to empower students to take responsibility for their learning and flourish as individual learners and leaders, while also connecting students to the wider world and global community!
Oak Knoll families gathered Monday for a morning of service, prayer, and reflection to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.! Following prayerful reflection, families assembled more than 500 bagged lunches for @Bridges_Outreach ! #OKSPeopleWithPurpose
