Family Night & Senior Night for Soccer  – Fri., Oct. 13
*Sign-up to Help!

SENIOR NIGHT FOR SOCCER: Come celebrate the seniors as we recognize them for their years on the soccer team, the contributions they've made, and what they have meant to the program. At half time we will be acknowledging Oaks seniors, Ethan Reade, Sam Schurter, Matthew Tallman, Caleb Van Horn, and Titus Welch on the field. Thank you seniors!

Let's line the field and fill the gym in unity as we thank God for His faithfulness and kindness. This is sure to be a great blessing to our seniors and their families!

FAMILY NIGHT: Bring the whole family to cheer on our Oaks soccer and volleyball teams as they take on Spokane Classical Christian School (SCCS) on Friday, October 13. For $8 per person (family maximum - $24) you will receive a pulled pork dinner (with all the fixins) and admission to all the games. SCCS brings a large crowd, so let's pack the gym! Wear your Oaks green gear and get ready to cheer! Let's fill the gym and field with Oaks fans and root on our teams. GO OAKS!!!

These events take a lot of work and a huge team of volunteers make it happen. If you are available to help and want to join in the fun of serving alongside other Oaks family members please sign up to help.

Volunteer Opportunities
*Sign-up to Help!

What a privilege it is to be part of a community that is always willing to lend a hand. Throughout the school year there are many opportunities to serve that are on an as-needed basis, as opposed to a weekly or monthly commitment. The 2023-24 volunteer sign-up is now available for you to sign up to substitute teach, help in a classroom, take yearbook photos, offer your professional expertise, and much more! Knowing who is available to ask in a time of need is a great service to our community, so please take a moment to look over this list and see if there's an area or two where you would be willing to lend a hand. Thank you!

New & Improved Cantabile!
*Office closed during Cantabile

As we begin a new school year and are in a new building, the framework of Cantabile is being strengthened and improved to reflect the beauty of joining together in song as we worship our God. Parents, grandparents, and guests are always welcome and encouraged to participate. At the beginning of each Cantabile time (8:15am Mondays & 3pm Fridays) students and teachers will leave their classrooms as they hear the call portion of I Know That My Redeemer Lives (our new entry song), singing the response as they make their way to the Great Hall. Parents are welcome to join your child either at their classroom or in the Great Hall during this call and response song. Kindergarten through 6th grade along with 7th grade ladies will be on the main floor, while 7th grade gentlemen along with 8th through 12th grade will be upstairs, lining the railing. Once the entry song has concluded all should be in their places and movement should cease for the rest of the Cantabile time. All staff will be participating in Cantabile, so classrooms and offices will be closed during these 15 minutes twice a week. The front office will not be open during Cantabile times. Thank you for helping to make this time of worship a blessing to all.
