Friday : Parent Meeting:  STRESS MANAGEMENT & Oakman Spirit Wear

Many of you have indicated from the survey we took at the beginning of the year you would like to learn coping skills for stressful times. Join us on Friday at 8:55 am in the cafeteria for a parent meeting. The presentation’s topic will be Stress Management  (How to reduce, prevent and cope with stress.)   Two gift cards will be raffled at the end.

We will also be introducing our Oakman spirit school clothing line. This is NOT uniforms but rather t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies with the Oakman logo on it.  You can have your child’s name put on the clothing too.  Order forms will be available.  Join us for some great parent time!

الاهل الاعزاء،

لقد اشار العديد منكم خلال الاستطلاع الذي اجريناه في بداية العام الدراسي  بالرغبة في تعلم مهارات التكيف مع الاوقات العصيبة.  ندعوكم الى اجتماع نهار الجمعة الساعة 8:55 صباحاً في قاعة الطعام. سنناقش كيفية التعامل مع الظعط النفسي (خفض ومنع والتغلب على الظغط النفسي).  سيكون هناك سحب وتوزيع لبطاقاط الهدايا في نهاية الاجتماع.

كما سيتم تقديم ملابس الاسبوع الترفيهي وهي عبارة عن تي شرت، بلوزات وهوديز مكتوب عليها شعار مدرسة اوكمن. يمكنكم وضع اسم ولدكم على هذه الملابس. استمارات طلب الشراء ستكون متوفرة لكم.  نتمنى حضوركم هذا اللقاء الممتع!
