Parent Academy: Family Movie Night - Sat., Jan. 15 [6–8:30pm]

This year The Oaks has invested in several new efforts to support families and parents in this partnership. One way in which this is being done is by providing parents with resources through The OaksCCA app. Another is increasing opportunities to gather in person for Parent Academy events, as well as more occasions for fellowship and learning together.  Therefore, we are excited to announce that the first of these is set for Saturday, January 15. Join us for this time of fellowship and edification as we consider how to raise children amidst the ever rising flood of digital media. The question for us to contemplate is, "Are we thinking rightly about social media?" We will be watching The Social Dilemma (2020), to be followed by a discussion afterwards. The evening begins at 6pm and concludes around 8:30pm. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided, but feel free to bring your own. Students are also welcome to attend with their parents. Stay tuned for further updates, and we look forward to seeing you there!
