See All the Hype!
In Celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the founding of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, we were blessed to gather as a school community for the first time in two years this morning!
Grade 7 earth science students recently enjoyed an introduction to meteorology courtesy of a live presentation by scientists at @mwobs! 🌡️❄️🌩️
Nearly 30 OKS Upper School students bagged 75 lunches after exams today to serve the homeless in need through @bridges_outreach, a social services organization in Summit, NJ. Today marks the first time in a year and a half where a smaller group of 6 OKS students will deliver and distribute the meals this evening to the homeless in New York City. #ActionsNotWords #StrongMindsHumbleHearts
We’ve had more impromptu reunions with alumnae as the Petitos recently bumped into Caroline Abel ’19 at Harvard!
Melissa Miller, our new Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice, recently visited senior art students to check out the progress of their Project Memory works!
Project Memory is an art peacebuilding effort in which students exchange heartfelt artwork with children from countries that are culturally different from the United States – stay tune for more on this wonderful endeavor!
Oak Knoll Sixth grade students take part in the 2021 #GlobalMakerDay where students around the globe connect live and virtually with other classrooms. Today, classrooms are sharing different projects, learning spaces, creations, coding, 3D designs, art lessons and more. Here, students are building and testing Rube Goldberg Machines – a chain reaction-type machine or contraption intentionally designed to perform a simple task where each action triggers the initiation of the next action.
Save the Date: Our Topics in Sports Medicine Panel, which take places Monday, November 1, 2021, will address the important topic of the mental side of athletics. Stay tuned for more details.
