Kindergarten Rules Again!!!

Congratulations to the Kindergarten Soccer players who played an awesome game and beat Mr. B. and Mr. C. 2-0. The game has become a tradition at OCS and every year seems to have the same outcome. We had a record 25 Kindergarten students participate in the after school program. Thank you to all the parents who supported the program and cheered the students on to victory.

GYMNASTIC TIME!!!

We are beginning gymnastics this week in our physical education classes. The gym is set up with all of our equipment and the students are participating in the "Animal Walks", which help us develop more advanced skills. The unit will run until the first week of November. Students in grades 5-8 will be producing contracts on the balance beam and the tumbling mats highlighting skills that they have mastered. Once gymnastics is over we will be completing our first round of our archery unit.

Mrs. Hart and myself would like to welcome Mr. Brad Bartow to Oxford Central School. Brad is a student at East Stroudsburg University and is completing his Professional Development School (PDS) during the second marking period. After our winter recess, Mr. Bartow will be student teaching here with us during his third quarter of college.

October is Cancer Awareness Month

October has been marked as Cancer Awareness Month throughout the United States. We typically associate October with Breast Cancer Awareness and the wearing of pink to show our support to those who have this deadly illness. October also presented us with Live Strong Day, learning more about testicular cancer from Lance Armstrong, a well know cancer survivor. Our 8th grade students participated in presentations from Northwest New Jersey Community Action Program Inc. (NORWESCAP). We are very fortunate to have representatives Jim and Sarah come to OCS and deliver such powerful information regarding cancer to our students. We learned about keeping ourselves safe from cancers, such as using the correct sunscreen and becoming familiar with changes in our physical appearance that could be warning signs of cancer and should be checked by a doctor. For more information regarding the warning signs of cancer please contact NORWESCAP .
