Official Coffee Shop & Library Openings Coming Soon!
Sign a Library Guidelines Disclaimer for each child to be ready to check out books

The official openings of The Oaks Coffee Shop & Library are just around the corner. The arrival of and training on our brand new espresso machine is in the works. The books are almost all cataloged and volunteer librarians are being arranged. Stay tuned for more official news coming soon.

In the meantime, any student planning to check out books must have the Library Guidelines Disclaimer, available in Annasis, signed by a parent. By signing this disclaimer, an account will be created for that child and he will be ready to check out books when the library is officially open in just a few short weeks. Please also read the Library Guidelines that will be available in the Family Handbook in the near future. What a blessing to be able to officially open these spaces soon and use them as they were designed.

Senior Thesis Request for Help

With Senior Thesis Presentations just around the corner, Rhetoric Teacher, Mr. Matt Chastain is requesting help from our Oaks families. If you are willing and able to help with judging and/or technical support please contact Mr. Chastain.

• Judging: Three judges are needed for each thesis. Judging consists of (1) asking a few questions to the students after their speech and (2) giving feedback to the advisor to assist the advisor in grading. More detailed information, including tips for asking good questions, will be gladly provided to anyone interested. If you would like to judge, please let Mr. Chastain know the times and topics you prefer.
• Audience: We would love to have you as a guest at the thesis presentations to hear the many interesting topics the seniors have prepared. You and your child will have the opportunity to see where younger Oaks students are heading. This is the culmination of the rhetoric training and overall education at The Oaks, and the seniors would be honored to have a good size audience.
• Technical Support: The speeches will be recorded and shared with the students' families. Help recording the speeches would be greatly appreciated. Please let Mr. Chastain know if you are able to assist.

Thank you for supporting our seniors!
