					<description><![CDATA[We are in need of some photos for the 25-26 Yearbook.  If your student attended any school events or field trips and you have photos to share, we would be happy to have them for the yearbook. If your student didn't have their photo taken during Photo Day you can still submit a photo for the yearbook.  To submit photos for the yearbook, you can email shamilton@mountainoaks.net or submit them directly to the Yearbook website (this would be best if you are submitting a lot of photos).  We especially need more photos for the following events:  Kick Off Kamp,  Science Fair & Share Day, Valentine's Day, and Dell'Osso Pumpkin Farm Field Trip.  Even if you only have photos of your own child at the field trip or event, it still helps.  

Please click on the title for more information on how to upload photos directly to Entourage Yearbooks. 

We love it when parents or students that attended an event or field trip create the yearbook page for that item.  You can tell it is done by someone who really cared for the events and it is done with love.  If you are willing to create a yearbook page for a specific event/field trip, please contact Samantha at shamilton@mountainoaks.net.  Our yearbook program is very easy to use and we can send you a video tutorial on the program or you can contact Samantha and she will meet with you to show you the program.  Let's make this yearbook full of love from the people who enjoyed their time at these events!  Posted on 3/12/26]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Mountain Oaks Community Members,

We have recently installed vape sensors in the All Gender Restrooms and the Student Restrooms in the gym hallway. These sensors will alert staff when anyone is smoking or vaping in these restrooms. Anyone who is seen leaving the restrooms after the vape alert (cameras are in the hallways) can face investigation and potentially discipline. 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding the vape sensors.

Thank you, Kathleen Lewis, Administrator]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Mountain Oaks Community,
At our last meeting, the Program Committee recommended two updated math curricula for board adoption: the newest versions of our current Ready and Primary Math programs. The newer versions meet the new Math Framework requirements for California Department of Education
We would love your input! We will have review copies available in the library on March 9th from 2:00–4:00 PM for staff and community members to explore. Please note that we are also continuing to research additional math programs for potential adoption later this school year.
The recommendation to adopt these updated versions will be on the agenda for the Mountain Oaks Board meeting on March 18th at 5:00 PM.
Thank you for your continued support of our students' learning!

					<description><![CDATA[Please come join us for our 32nd Annual Retreat/Business Meeting on January 26th from 8:45-3:00 PM at the San Andreas site.  This is the one time each year where we get together from all of our sites to talk about the vision and future of Mountain Oaks.  Our families are the driving force of everything we do at Mountain Oaks, and we need your input during the Retreat and also on the Annual Surveys.  We will be serving a light breakfast of muffins, Danishes, and fruit for our parents and high school students.  Participants are asked to please RSVP by January 21st so that we can have a count turned into the lunch catering company (La Esperanza Taco Truck). We cannot guarantee lunch for anyone who signs up after the deadline.
 
We ask that our Parents and our High School students complete the Annual Survey by January 19th to allow us time to gather the data and present it at the Annual Retreat.  We know that your time is valuable and have updated and shortened the survey a lot.  This information is very valuable to us in the planning for the next school year.  We use this for planning workshops, field trips, special events, and curriculum purchases.  This information is also used to figure out how we can improve our school and what the needs and wants are of our community.

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Mountain Oaks Families!
Can I interest you in some Magic Beans?
Get ready—the "Giant's Castle" Book Fair is coming to our school! This is an opportunity to turn those magic beans into a path to fill a student's home library with new books they’ll dive into again and again.
The easiest way to let your student climb the bean stalk independently is by creating an eWallet. It’s easy to set up and easy for others to add funds.
Create an eWallet, and you’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to Share the Fair - the golden goose that supports students at our school who need help buying books. 
Here’s everything else you need to know about the "Giant's Castle" Book Fair:
Dates: The Bean Stalk grows Monday 10/27 and will be chopped down Friday 10/31

Location: Mountain Oaks San Andreas Library and in the clouds!

Time: 8:30am - 4pm Mon-Thurs 8:30am-12:30pm Friday

As always there will be Book Fair games to earn a chance to win a free book! Ask the Giant's attendant for information on the games!
Be quick or clever else the Giant will find you!
-Magic Beans Salesperson

Click the title for full details, and to create an eWallet, visit our school’s Book Fair homepage.

					<description><![CDATA[We will be having our Annual Halloween Parade on October 29th starting at noon. Students are encouraged to come in their Halloween costumes and parade through the offices and collect candy along the way.  This year, the school's Halloween theme is "Fairytales".  Parents and students are welcome to dress to our theme, if you want to.  This is a PTO sponsored event and we are asking for parents to donate a bag of candy by October 28th, so that we have time to get candy to all of the staff who will be handing it out during the parade.

Unfortunately, we will only be able to offer shelf-stable lunches while they are in the process of hiring someone.  Families must still sign-up 5 days in advance through the lunch program and list "Shelf Stable" as their chosen lunch.  We need to know in advance to make sure we have enough items to make the necessary lunches. Once they have someone hired, we will post the hot lunch menu.

					<description><![CDATA[​Just a reminder that if you signed up for lunch and are not going to be on campus to get lunch please let us know before 11:00 that day.  That way we have time to inform the cafeteria lady and she won't prepare the food.  Just today alone we had 11 out of 18 students not show up for the lunches they ordered.  That is a lot of wasted food.  At some point, it could become an issue and we could lose the hot lunch program and only be able to offer shelf-stable lunches to our families.

					<description><![CDATA[This information is form Charter Schools Develpoment Center regarding the Senate and Assembly Bills regarding Charter Schools:  

Our collective advocacy is working! That’s why our opponents are pulling procedural tricks at the last minute.  

Despite the author’s word, AB 84 has been resurrected and is back in play. In a last-minute maneuver, Senator Cortese (D – San Jose) has gut-and-amended (a term for overhauling the contents of a bill late in the process) SB 494 to include a one-year extension of the charter moratorium and a one-year extension to use verified data in charter renewals.  

We can’t wait to stop fraud now! Our position is unchanged. CSDC and the charter school coalition is united and resolved: 
 
❌ NO on AB 84
❌ NO on SB 494
✅ YES on SB 414

All three bills could face votes as soon as Friday, September 12 — the last day of session. We have just 48 hours to act.  

Now is the time to support SB 414, by Senator Angelique Ashby. Senator Ashby is a charter school parent, a leader in the Senate, and a champion of sensible reforms that won’t take money from the classroom.
 

Call your Assemblymember NOW!  Click the Title for more information.

					<description><![CDATA[After the passage of Senate Bill 276 in January 2020, new immunization rules were implemented at Mountain Oaks School. Mountain Oaks has always been understanding and supportive of parent choice, while operating within the legal guidelines set by the California Department of Education. We continue to enroll students without current immunizations as independent study only students. We also inform independent study only students that they would not be eligible for enrollment in workshops, classes, events and other group school activities.

I have provided an attachment and a link to the current immunization requirements: CA Immunization Requirements

In the 2025/26 school year, our school and country nurse will be auditing all workshops, classes, outings, and school events for student immunization status before approving enrollment/attendance at the event.

The audit will verify that all enrolled students participating in on-campus and/or group activities (such as workshops and field trips) have up-to-date immunization records reflecting one of the following statuses:
● On Schedule with Immunizations
● Students with IEPs will continue to participate in those activities and workshops that are part of their assigned services. This includes lunch.
● A current state medical exemption will allow you to continue to participate in school group activities. The information for how to apply for a medical exemption can be found on the state website: https://cair-me.cdph.ca.gov/home

Students must meet all specified criteria to participate in on-campus group activities. Those who do not meet the immunization requirements may enroll in Mountain Oaks as Independent Study students only.

If you have any questions about your immunization status at our school, please feel free to call me (Kathleen Lewis @ 754-0532, ext. 2262) or the Mountain Oaks Administrative Services Coordinator, Samantha at 754-0532, ext. 2258

Seventh and eighth graders can "Red Shirt" which means they can practice with the team but they are not able to play in the games because it is a high school league. We will have a  Volleyball Orientation on August 11th immediately following Kick-Off-Kamp. We would like to have all players and their parents attend the meeting.  All players will need to complete an Athletic Packet and have a physical done before they can begin practicing with the team. Click on the title for more information.

				<link>http://www.mountainoaks.org/apps/news/article/2069282</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.mountainoaks.org/apps/news/article/2069282</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[AB 84 has advanced from the Appropriations Committee on a party-line vote and will be considered by the full Assembly between now and June 6.

This bill threatens to impose costly mandates, strip away funding, and limit choices for families—harming students in all charter schools across California. 

Your voice matters! In just two minutes, you can make a difference.  

Let’s show our legislators that we stand for student-centered, flexible, and equitable education—not one-size-fits-all mandates. 

Click below to send your email and STOP AB 84 today! 

Listed below is the original message posted about AB 84 that was previously posted on our website:

AB 84 is one of the most sweeping and concerning charter school bills in recent memory, and we need everyone working together to protect students and schools.

In just a few weeks, AB 84 will be taken up on the Assembly Floor—a critical moment that could determine whether this harmful bill advances. Legislators will be hearing from all sides, and family voices will be essential to stopping it.

We know this time of year is packed, but here’s why this can’t wait:

AB 84 is moving quickly with a vote on the Assembly Floor expected by late May or early June.

Families are among the most persuasive voices in this debate, but only if they understand the stakes and know how to engage constructively.

AB 84 Puts Charter School Flexibility—and Student Success—at Risk

					<description><![CDATA[If you see Adelynne Anisko, Thatcher Cooper, Travis Rose, Syla Wichtendahl, June Wiebe, or Madison Lumia, give them a huge round of applause! These kids are going to the STATE final competition for Nature Bowl! They worked so hard creating a environmental commercial to teach about local environmental issues, learning over 300 scientific terms, and applying these things to real life problem solving. Nature Bowl is a great way to learn science, stewardship, team work, and build a love for our natural world. These kids were hot, exhausted, but smiling the whole time! 

Miss Kayle couldn't be more proud of them! Posted 4/14/25]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We are going to Living History Day on April 17th. This is an overnight trip where students experience life on the Gold Rush Fields of California. This is a huge deal and so exciting for students. It also involves a lot of participation. I would love for you all to encourage students to join, and I would love if parents and teachers would join us as volunteers. We have many stations that staff and parents need to run. 

Families, this is a free event that is put together by all of YOUR hard work. Please, lets all work together to put together an amazing experience for our students.

					<description><![CDATA[The Health department is willing to come to Mountain Oaks and give free TDAP to any student who is in need of getting the TDAP immunization and does not have private insurance.  Parents must be present with them for the student to receive the immunization. 

This is great for our 6th graders, so that they will be compliant for the immunization requirements for 7th grade.  They will not come out unless we have students who want to receive the free immunization.  This is a great way to get it done easily and free.   

 All students must be up-to-date on their immunizations to be able to attend school group activities, such as: workshops, field trips and special events.  Students who are not fully immunized can be enrolled and meet one-on-one with their mentor teacher but cannot participate in group activities.  

Please click on the title to complete the TDAP Survey before April 11th so that we can get a date and time scheduled with the Health Department.

					<description><![CDATA[This Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 1:00 pm, we are going to virtually visit Bidwell Sacramento River State Park near Chico, CA.  Chico is about 90 miles from Sacramento, CA.  The Sacramento River runs through this park and continues through the city of Sacramento until it joins with the Feather River. In our years of doing PORTS field trips, we have never been to a park in this part of California. 

Click article title to access the Zoom link for this field trip. 

Our field trip is going to focus on the “World’s Smallest Superheroes”, which are tiny decomposers that help to keep soil healthy so plants can grow, as well as breakdown waste into usable materials. Our ranger will be showing us animals, insects and other critters that all help with breaking down waste and help us to make our land more healthy.  

I’ve posted some items in our Google classroom to help us get ready for this fun and interesting trip. One of the items is a book about the Bidwells, a pioneer family that Bidwell Sacramento State Park is named for.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thanks! Corie]]></description>

The Mountain Oaks Annual Retreat is the one day a year we come together as a community to review and analyze our current survey data and our CAASPP data from the previous year. In this meeting, we identify problems and present solutions. All of the information we gather during the Annual Retreat is used to improve our program which is focused on student's academic success.

This year we had a unique conversation with our community members about our upcoming charter renewal in 2027. The rules for charter renewal have had significant changes that will impact Mountain Oaks. Posted 1/31/25]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Mountain Oaks parents/guardians/high school students,

In compliance with Assembly Bill 3216 (the 'Phone-Free School Act'), Mountain Oaks school is developing a policy to limit or prohibit student use of smartphones while on campus. This survey aims to gather valuable input from students, parents and/or guardians to help us create a policy that supports a positive and productive learning environment for everyone. Your honest feedback will play a crucial role in shaping how we approach smartphone use at school. 

We will be collecting survey results through February 7th, 2025. The results of this survey and our staff survey regarding cell phone use at school will be shared at the next Program Committee meeting. 

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your participation! Kathleen

					<description><![CDATA[One of our beloved alumni students, TJ Wennhold, lost his life in a tragic accident on Wednesday January 15th. 

TJ and his parents Melinda and Bill Wennhold were valued members of our Mountain Oaks community. TJ was a beautiful, kind, loving and caring person. He had recently earned his EMT certification in addition to having successfully completed the Volunteer Firefighter Program in Calaveras County during his junior year in high school. 

Services are scheduled for Saturday, January 25th at the fairgrounds. We do not have a time frame right now. 

Bill and Melinda are asking for privacy at this time. They have a designated liaison, Don Young, Fire Chief San Andreas.

Sheri Sedler from CCOE is available for grief counseling for any of our students in need of extra support during this time.

Take Care, Kathleen]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Mountain Oaks Families!

As fall begins to peek its head out and the weather is changing (hopefully) we wanted to let you know of an exciting change to our rewards point system. We have retired the old "Rewards Catalog" due to low engagement and have streamlined spending points at the Book Fair. Students no longer have to worry about what their points are worth at the Book Fair with no change being given if they didn't spend in certain multiples.  Now all points earned are simply: 1 point = $1. We have increased students' current balances to be in line with this change and have also similarly increased how many points are earned from all sources.

Please head to the Mountain Oaks homepage and look under "Academic Resources" and then "Student Rewards" to see the details of where/how students earn points as well as the form students can fill out to see their points balance.

Thanks!
-The Rewards Team

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Mountain Oaks Families,

The window for the California Healthy Kids Survey is open.

The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is an anonymous, confidential survey of school climate and safety, student wellness, and youth resiliency. It is administered to students at grades five, seven, nine, and eleven. It enables schools and communities to collect and analyze data regarding local youth health risks and behaviors, school connectedness, school climate, protective factors, and school violence. The CHKS is part of a comprehensive data-driven decision-making process on improving school climate and student learning environment for overall school improvements.

California Education Code sections 51513 and 51938(c) specify that parent or guardian consent be granted before students are given questionnaires or surveys asking about personal beliefs or practices that include health behavior and risks. There are two kinds of parent or guardian consent: passive and active.
Active Consent (for 5th graders) requires that a parent or legal guardian be notified in writing and gives written permission for the student to participate in the survey. Active consent is required of the fifth grade CHKS survey.
Passive Consent (for 7th, 9th and 11th graders) requires that a parent or legal guardian be notified in writing about the survey and is given the opportunity to review the survey. Parents need to notify the school if they do not want their child to participate in the survey. 
Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your opinion matters.
Kathleen

					<description><![CDATA[December 13th from 10-3:00
This wonderful event is open to all Mtn. Oaks families.  It is a wonderful day full of crafts, fun, food and games.  

Crafts 10-12:00
Potluck 12:30-1:00
Cookie Exchange 1:00-1:30
Volleyball Game 1:30 until we are worn out

Crafts:
We will have about 10 different crafts for kids to do. These make great gifts for family or friends or even to hang on your tree.  Parents should plan on bringing a flat box of some sort to transport all of their wonderful treasures.  Many of the crafts involve a lot of glue and therefore are transported best when they are not stacked on top of each other.

Potluck:
Everyone participating in the potluck should bring a dish to feed about 10 people.  Please bring the following items if your Last Name starts with:
A-J: Main Dish
K-S: Side Dish
T-Z: Dessert

Cookie Exchange:  
This is a family favorite each year.  Anyone interested in participating need to bring HOMEMADE Cookies or Desserts and 10 copies of the recipe to share with others.  Participating families can sample the different items and take a copy of the recipe home to use later.  

Volleyball:
Everyone is encouraged to stay and play volleyball.  This is a lot of fun.  Last year was amazing.  We had parents, staff, high schooler and students as young as Kindergarten playing.  It is good for kids to see that parents and staff can play games too. Click article title for flyer with more information.  Posted 12/2/24]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Howdy Mountain Oaks Families!

There's a Book Fair in our boots! It is once again the wonderful time of year where not only is the weather changing, but we have our Fall Book Fair! This year we are theming the Book Fair around Friendship! This is an important topic, and one of the main themes of Toy Story.  (You may have noticed the front office is Andy's room.)

Join us at the "You've Got a Friend in the Book Fair" starting Monday, Oct 28th going through Friday, Nov 1st .

You can shop the online fair or set up your e-Wallet here: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/mountainoaksschool1 

Ask your mentor teacher or ask the Book Fair attendant how to use student rewards points to shop at the Book Fair.

We hope to see you all at the Book Fair!"

Chris Brosz

					<description><![CDATA[We are deep in the LCAP writing process and we have arrived at the time for parents to give feedback on it!

A simplified crash course of what the LCAP is for those who don't know is when we receive money from the state we need to provide a plan on how we are going to spend that money in pursuit of meeting our goals as a school. 

These goals that we are trying to meet are based on the "areas of need" found when WASC, the agency that accredits us as a school visits and we work with them to figure out where our school can improve to better serve our students. We then take those "areas of need" and turn them into goals on the LCAP.

Working within those goals we also need to come up with a fair way to measure our progress and what steps we are taking towards meeting those goals. This is known as "Metrics" and "Actions" respectively.

What we need from you is to read our goals, look at the metrics, look at the actions, and provide any feedback you may have about the metrics and actions!

Mountain Oaks has always prided itself on making a student's journey as individualized as possible to better serve our students, but we also pride ourselves on making the school better overall! We find that we can do that significantly better when parents get involved and voice their thoughts and opinions.

This was on the most recent PTO agenda, but we didn't want to limit family/parent feedback only to those who were able to attend in person and have created a Google form. Click article title to fill out the survey where you can give us your feedback!  Please complete the Google Form by May 15th.  Thank you for your time and input.

					<description><![CDATA[Saturday, October 7th, Mountain Oaks families came together to get some large projects done in our school garden, from building boxes, prepping planter boxes, and making a compost bin and stepping stones. 

The project was planned out by the Mountain Oaks Green Team. It also included reaching out to many businesses in the community to get barrels from School Street and Newsome Harlow.

The best part, Dave Wilson Nursery provided fruit trees, grapes, and blueberries to plant. Dave Wilson's representative, Will Reid, even brought plenty of fresh stone fruits to munch on while we worked and helped with the projects on the school grounds.

We look forward to more days out in our garden!

As we have been talking about, there is going to be a prescribed burn that will be taking place next week and the North Grove Trail will be closed.  We will reschedule this trip for the spring and will keep you posted.  

In the meantime, we will see if we can get a virtual field trip scheduled for October 20 to a different State Park.  Please check our Google Classroom and your email for more information on this.  Also, our next scheduled virtual field trip will be on October 30, 2023, at 10:15 a.m. to Torrey Pines State Beach to learn about the great white sharks that live there.

					<description><![CDATA[Nature Bowl had their competition on Tuesday, April 18! They did an amazing job and worked so hard as a team. Emmaline Turnbeaugh, Aiden Filkens, Chase Rose, Ariyana Kemeny, Joybella Moore, and Anabelle Vrismo all demonstrated a strong understanding of their local environment and had a great time doing it. We look forward to another year of getting our 3-6th grade students outside.

As part of the competition, students made "Enviromercials" to teach about a environmental issue. In light of Animal Awareness Week happening on the San Andreas campus, we thought we would share the 2023 Nature Bowl Team's commercial on Endangered Animals of Calaveras County.

Families participating in the cookie exchange will be able to sample cookies and collect recipes.   Maybe you will find a new favorite recipe to add to your holiday collection.

We would love for everyone to stay and play in the staff/parent/student volleyball game.  Everyone has a good time when we are all playing together and just having fun.  Click article title for flyer with more information.  Posted 11/10/22]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Each year, all students in California are required to participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).  As a reminder, participation in standards-based testing is part of the Master Agreement and the student contract you signed when you enrolled your child at Mountain Oaks.  Participation in testing is not only helpful for teachers and families to identify the learning needs of our students, but it is also mandated by the state of California.  If Mountain Oaks fails to test at least 95% of our students, our school could face severe penalties from the State of California and other regulatory agencies.  These penalties could include the revocation (closure) of Mountain Oaks Charter School. The CAASPP Testing window opened on April 19 and will close on May 18. Students in grades 3-8 and 11-12 will be participating this year. Click article title for more important information.  Posted 4/19/22]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Senior Graduation Ceremony Vote:
Due to the overwhelming positive response for the last 2 year regarding our Individual Graduation Ceremonies, we have decided to ask our seniors which type of graduation ceremony they prefer.  The graduation ceremony type with the majority votes will be what we do for this year's graduation.  We understand that most families know what a traditional graduation looks like but do not completely understand what our Individual Graduation Ceremony is like.  Here is a link to a video of last year's graduation which did still have COVID restrictions (that are no longer in affect)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju44RozanKM
Each graduate can only vote once.  Please click article title to read more information and to vote.  We will close the voting on April 27th at 4:30. Votes submitted after the deadline will not be counted. Posted 4/25/22]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We had to change the day of Middles and Little to Thursdays at 9 AM, Bi-Weekly, so we do not interfere with Drama. We know how many of our families are in Drama, and would not want to put this workshop during their time! This will be a wonderful time for both our Middle schoolers and our K-3 group. We will be able to play games, craft, and connect our students with each other and help make Mountain Oaks' sense of community stronger. This is a workshop where K-3 students will be paired with a 6-8 student who has similar interest. Kids will do crafts and activities together. This workshop is intended to increase the feeling of community among our students. Click article title for flyer with more information. Posted 1/21/22]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mountain Oaks student Dallis Donnell was given the opportunity to experience Paleontology at a fossil site at an undisclosed location. Dallis assisted a Paleontologist/Zoologist and a Naturalist in recovering a fossilized tusk from a Gomphothere which was a four-tusked Proboscidean ancestor of the modern elephant. This fossil is thought to be between five and ten million years old, with of course no exact date of fossilization.

					<description><![CDATA[This year's Academic Decathlon California State Competition, like all other events, has been extremely tough. Our persevering and strong team composed of students from all 3 sites was relentless in facing the extra hurdles of the evolving State Competition into an online independent format.  The appropriate theme of 'Health and Wellness’ became our reality. Congratulations to our Honors Level of Alexa H., Team Captain, for our highest school score, Trillium W. and Emma D., Scholastic level of Veda D., Ben W. and Eden M., our Varsity level of Eva E. who won Golds in Art, Literature, Music, Social Science & a Bronze in Super Q & Andy (Anna) L. for a Gold in Essay!! Our comparatively tiny school scored in the top half of Division 3. Several of our students will be continuing and will compete in the online National Competition in May. Thanks to the families, Reed H., John K., Ellen D., Mike N., teachers, staff and coach Rose Justi. Posted 3/30/20]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Come join us for this year's Arctic Themed Book Fair from November 4-8th.  We will be having a Sneak Peak on Friday, November 1st from 3-5 PM with an Ice Cream Social.  We are offering something fun each day and hope to have all of the families participate.  We are very excited to announce our first ever Mountain Oaks Family Reading Night.  All students are asked to bring a book to donate to the book swap.  We will have crafts: decorate your own book bag, make a bookmark, paper snowflakes, and paper plate animals.  There will also be several activities to participate in for the students with chances to win scholastic books. There will be a paper snowball fight where students write their name and a book they would like to win on a piece of paper; crumple up the paper; and then they will get to throw them at the administrator.  Whichever snowballs are chosen by the administrator will be the lucky winners and receive the book they requested. Families must sign-up by October 28th so that we have adequate materials on hand for the event. Click article title for flyer with more information.  Posted 10-17-19]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congratulations to our 2019 ROV Ranger Team for winning the Harry Bohm/Jill Zande “Sharkpedo” Award at the Marine Advanced Technology Education (M.A.T.E.) World Championship Competition in Kingsport, Tennessee! This award was for the best Engineering Innovation and Originality, thinking outside the box, of an underwater ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle). Mt. Oaks' sponsored team consisted of Mt. Oaks' seniors Shannon Woodside and Hans Baschy, and Brett Harte student Lars Baschy. After placing 2nd overall and 1st in the Engineering Presentation at Monterey Regional, the team continued working and practicing for the past month before driving to Tennessee. The top 10% of teams from around the world made up the 70 teams from 18 countries who competed at this exciting 3-day event. It was a well-deserved honor and opportunity for our amazing students. Thank you to our project advisors Rose Justi and Stephanie Woodside, MaryAnne Garamendi, Monika Riedel, and all who contributed for the team expenses, especially the Mt. Oaks Board, GoFundMe benefactors, and San Andreas' Napa Auto Parts. Click article title to see pictures.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The 2018-2019 Academic Decathlon Team came to an exciting and impressive finish for a young inexperienced team. The 1960’s, A Transformative Decade, led us to explore Modern Art, the Vietnam War, Civil Rights, Lasers, Rock & Roll, the Cold War Economy and more. We attended Lecture Day in Madera with college professors, the Crocker Art Museum for a focused tour, and a scrimmage with 400 high-schoolers in Sacramento! We ate Vietnamese food, watched a play, tie-dyed team shirts, wrote speeches and essays, and studied. Our high school team included our Honors’ level of Team Captain, Junior Alexa Hughes who won Bronzes in Art & Social Science; Freshman Trillium Wright who won Golds in Music and Language & Literature and Silver in Economics; and Senior Trinity Walter who won Silver in Essay and Bronze in Economics. The Scholastic level was comprised of Freshman Veda Dean who won Gold in Music and Bronzes in Art, Social Science, and Language & Literature. Our Varsity level was made up of Freshman Eva Estes who won Golds in Art, Language & Literature, Social Science, and Music; and Freshman Annabelle Lampa who won Golds in Art and Economics and Bronze in Music. Thanks to Coach, Rose Justi and Instructors Kathleen Lewis, Ellen Davison, Melissa Ratkovich, & John Kenny. Interested in joining our team for next year? Look for signups in May, or call Rose Justi X2255.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Our annual Share Day is just a week off and we presently have eight students signed up to participate. We have songs, a slideshow and a couple of hobby displays. 
I'm planning to share a song that I wrote in a graduate school class in human development instead of writing yet another research paper.  It will include a different hat for each verse so I'm looking for a student to help me that can reach up to about 6 feet to change the hats; let me know if you are interested in helping me out.  
Please join us and sign up in the library if you would like to participate in showing, telling about or performing in some way to make our program more fun and interesting. 
Cordially,
Daniel O'Connell]]></description>
