This week we celebrate the Stars and Stripes, a powerful symbol of our shared history, unity, and freedom.

“This flag, which we honor and under which we serve, is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation.”
- President Woodrow Wilson, 1917

Let’s show our pride!

Fly the flag high, teach your kids what it stands for, and remember the sacrifices made to keep it flying.

My Team had the pleasure of connecting with the children and families of Oakdale at the Second Annual Little Scientists: Ice Cream and Summer Reading Kickoff event sponsored by the Friends of the Oakdale Library and The Oakdale Center for Human Services at the Oakdale Library.

It was wonderful to see so many young minds engaged in hands-on learning as they discovered how to make ice cream from simple ingredients. Activities like this not only teach children where their food comes from and how it is produced, but also spark curiosity about science and the world around them. Pairing this with the summer reading kickoff beautifully reinforces the importance of literacy, showing kids that learning can be both fun and delicious while encouraging them to keep reading throughout the summer.

I would like to extend my thanks to the Oakdale Library, the Friends of the Oakdale Library, and The Oakdale Center for Human Services, for their unwavering dedication to serving the communities of Oakdale and for putting on such a fun and educational event.

On this D-Day anniversary, we remember the courage of the Allied heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.

Their bravery and sacrifice turned the tide of WWII and secured our freedom. We will never forget.
