What a fun day at our assembly! Between the staff vs. students basketball game and 7th grade taking the win in tug-of-war, we ended the week on a high note!
Yesterday at The Shac, Oak Valley and Muir students put on a show to remember! You all did an incredible job—‘Sweet Caroline’ was a personal favorite! Enjoy this cute photo of one of our adorable fans!
Happy Wednesday! Although the countdown to summer is on, our 7th graders are still focused and working hard on their ELA essays—or as they like to say, they're locked in!

If you need a good smile, here are some highlights from Spirit Week!
Our students went all out with their BBQ Dad outfits—these photos are sure to make you smile. Principal Fraza definitely won the day on Soccer Mom and BBQ Dad Day by handing out snacks and drinks, which the students loved!
They’ve also been having a blast trying to identify the AI-generated action figure pictures of our teachers—it's been a big hit!
Don’t forget: tomorrow is USA Day! Be sure to dress up as we head into Memorial Day Weekend.
Let’s keep the spirit going!
Something fun is happening today at Oak Valley!
Our hallways are full of AI-generated action figure versions of our staff—complete with their favorite things!
Students are challenged to match each image to the correct staff member for a chance to win a gift card. There will be two drawings: one for accuracy (95% correct or higher) and one just for participating.
Check out the action figures during passing periods, lunch, or even after school!
Big thanks to Principal Fraza for organizing this awesome, lighthearted activity to wrap up a long week of testing. Let the guessing games begin!

Our 7th graders have returned from Spring Break and are diving into an exciting project! Before the break, they wrapped up A Christmas Carol, and now they’re bringing it to life with a modern twist. From scriptwriting to prop-making with construction paper, they’re fully immersed in preparing their own adaptations to perform for the class.
