LAEF DONATION: I’m very happy announce that LAEF has donated $5000 to support STEAM instruction at Oak!   Since 2017, LAEF has given $32,500 to Oak and $322,500 district-wide in direct STEAM grants. These funds will be applied to supporting our Science department, Engineering Program, Science Olympiad Teams and E sports teams on campus.

We are very grateful for LAEF’s ongoing support, even while times are tough and they are experiencing financial hardships. To learn more about LAEF, please visit their website – www.LAEF4Kids.org

WHAT'S NEW AT OAK: Oak clubs are thriving! With over 20 clubs and 250 students that have signed up, there surely is a club for everyone! Check out the flyer in the Lion's Roar Did YOU KNOW? section.

OAK WELL SPACE FOR STUDENTS COMING SOON: We are so excited for our new Well Space on the Oak Campus. This new room will be run by our counselor Ms. Reynolds, along with our Mental health support team Mrs. Eatmon and Mrs. Park. Our Well Space called THE DEN, will be opening soon. A giant shout out to CHOC, OCDE and LAEF for their generous donations to support this program. Stay tuned for more information.

Highlight on STEM I and II Robotics: For the past 4 weeks, students in Mr. Schiele’s STEM I and STEM II classes have been building and programming robots in the Design 38 Makerspace. Each student has been assigned 1 robotics kit to limit the spread of germs. After building their own autonomous robot with motors and sensors, students modified their robots to complete various tasks while others used code to program their robot to drive around the classroom. Addison P. even created a robot to clean hard surfaces with an alcohol wipe such as a hospital floor. Hwanjung K. created a robot with a claw to pick up objects, store them for movement, and transport them to another destination. At the start of the new semester, students will rotate within the classroom to learn 3D design and 3D printing while giving other students a chance to build a robot with a clean kit. Great job engineers, makers, and computer scientists!  See Hwanjung's robot in action here: STEM Student Project
