SUPPORTING STUDENTS: We are thrilled to announce that Oak Park Elementary School-Decatur, Alabama has officially received a $2,000 grant to support our students for the 2026–2027 school year!

We can renew and expand the Oak Park GOALS Incentive Program! This program directly rewards our hard-working students for:
✅Academic growth in Reading & Math
✅Positive behavior & citizenship

When our students are motivated, they thrive—and this grant helps us ensure that every child at Oak Park has the encouragement and resources they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

Please join us in sending a huge THANK YOU to Representative Parker Moore and Senator Arthur Orr for investing in our scholars and our school’s future!

🍋 Lemon Counting Fun in First Grade! 🍋

Learning math doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be as simple as counting lemons! Our first graders are having fun practicing their counting skills during small-group learning. We love seeing our students learn, count, and grow together! 💛🔢

Our kindergarteners are busy building those fine-motor skills with two classroom favorites: scissors and play dough! ✨

They’re practicing their zig-zag scissor skills, working on hand control, coordination, and precision as they carefully follow the lines. ✂️📄

Then it’s time for play dough! 👐 Play dough gives little hands a chance to build strength, dexterity, creativity, and coordination while having a whole lot of fun!

These activities may look like play, but our kindergarteners are doing some serious learning! 📚💪

Great job, Ms. Hogan's and Mr. Rader's classes!🏕️⭐

Our 5th graders took their learning beyond the textbook with a Civil War Scavenger Hunt! 🇺🇸

Students worked their way through clues, explored important information, and put their history knowledge to the test—all while having a little fun along the way!

We love seeing our kids learning, collaborating, and making connections in creative ways! ⭐

Way to go, 5th grade! 👏

Oak Park came together for an assembly this morning! Principal Missy Olinger and Assistant Principal Casey Lewis encouraged our students to “Stay the Course” as we begin a new school year.

We celebrated our students’ tremendous growth on the ACAP state test 🎉, reviewed important behavior expectations and school procedures, and talked about the importance of making good choices and staying on track.

And, of course, students were reminded of one of the best ways to grow as a learner:

📚 READ, READ, READ! 📚

We’re proud of our students and excited for a fantastic year ahead! ❤️💙

Decatur City Schools will be on a 2- hour delay today due to storms. This means buses will also run 2 hours later than their normal schedule.

Students will be able to eat breakfast at school when they arrive.

Please travel safely, and we look forward to seeing everyone a little later this morning!!!
