State Champs 2009

The Oxford Archery team once again were named state champs last week. This is a great honor for the students and community of Oxford. The archers will be heading to Louisville, Kentucky to represent the state of New Jersey at the national tournament. This year the national tournament is expected to be the largest tournament in United States history with close to 4,000 archers competing.
A huge THANK YOU to everyone for their support of our program. The dedication of the archery families is second to none, and the support from our administration and board of education make it possible to participate in a quality program. The archery team will be reaching out for donations to offset the cost of the trip. We have been very successful in the past raising the money needed to cover the cost of the trip. Thank you to everyone who contributes time, talents and funds for our team.
The archery team is having a flower fund raising sale. Please contact the main office at school if you are interested in purchasing some beautiful flowers for your home, or also a great Mother's Day gift.
Our 6th - 8th grade students are currently studying Human Growth and Development in Family Life classes. Our younger students are getting ready to begin studying about nutrition. We are getting ready to get outside again with our Physical Education classes now that the weather is starting to cooperate. Please remember that students should bring in dry socks and a change of shirt for Physical Education classes. We also recommend roll-on deodorants for students in grades 4-8. If we are outside in the morning the grass could be damp and we want the students to have dry socks and/or shoes to put on after class.
We are hoping everyone has great Spring Break and look forward to busy but fun end of the school year.
