New Conservatory Music Classes Beginning in February
With the start of a new semester, The Oaks Conservatory is excited to unveil two new music classes, Acorn Music and Beginning Keyboarding. Acorn Music is a parent/child class for 3–5 year olds. Families familiar with the previous curriculum (Musikgarten) will feel at home in this class. Mr. Christopher Parkin, Band Director, will lead this 45 minute class of musical fun. Beginning Keyboarding is much more open-ended, with no age limit! This class is an awesome way to get a jump start in a basic piano and music theory foundation as well as a great springboard into private lessons on any instrument. Registration and further details for both of these class is available on Annasis. The Oaks Conservatory rejoices in playing a part in raising the next generation of God-glorifying musicians.

Logic & Rhetoric Schools
Gerard Manley Hopkins Poetry Competition
Semi-Finals – Fri., Feb. 13 [2pm]
Championship – Tues., Feb. 24 [6:30pm]
The Gerard Manley Hopkins Poetry Competition aims to cultivate in students both good taste in words and a copious memory, who persuasively deliver poetry, and in all their daily speeches, "rightly handle the word of truth." The practice of memorized, memorable poem delivery completes and confirms an eduction. Poems tune the soul to Beauty, permeate the memory with Truth, and draw the will toward the Good. In short, the best poems are precise, permanent, and persuasive–particularly when masterfully recited.
Therefore, on or before February 6, Traditio classes will host an in-class competition, from which 1–2 students will be selected to advance to the semi-final competition. The semi-final will then be held on Friday, February 13 at 2:05pm in the Great Hall for the entire Logic & Rhetoric School and guests. Then on Tuesday, February 24th at 6:30pm the top 4 students will compete in the Championship round.
A curated collection of Poems is available for students to select from. If a student desires an outside poem, that must be cleared with their Traditio teacher.
Fine Arts Festival - Mar. 5 & 6

SEPTEMBER
Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff, which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish. - Psalm 1
OCTOBER
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!" And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. So I said: "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts." Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged." Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send,And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me." - Isaiah 6:1–8
NOVEMBER
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel: To know wisdom and instruction, To perceive the words of understanding, To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, judgment, and equity; To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion– A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. - Proverbs 1:1–7
DECEMBER
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he though about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you, Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.' So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 'Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,' which is translated, 'God with us.' Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS." - Matthew 1:18–25
JANUARY
And God spoke all these words, saying " I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image–any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house, you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's." - Exodus 20:1–17
