A Powerful Celebration of Culture, Identity, and Belonging!

What a meaningful way to close Hispanic Heritage Month at OAS! Our celebration was about more than culture and traditions. It was about identity, resilience, pride, and the power of embracing who we are.

We were especially honored to welcome Assistant Superintendent Mr. Larry James, who connected with our students by sharing his message in Spanish. His efforts were a beautiful reminder that language builds bridges, honors cultures, and strengthens our sense of belonging.

A heartfelt thank you to our inspiring guest speakers, Vivian Marin from the Louisville Metro Office for Immigrant Affairs and Luis David Fuentes from El Kentubano, for sharing their experiences, perspectives, and powerful messages with our students.

A HUGE thank you to every OAS staff member who helped bring this celebration to life! Your dedication, teamwork, and willingness to go above and beyond made this experience truly special for our students.

A very special thank you to Mr. Velez, Ms. Moore, and Ms. Beitia from Doss High School for your incredible support, collaboration, and commitment. None of this would have been possible without each of you!

Hispanic Heritage Month may have come to an end, but the pride, connections, and sense of belonging created through these experiences will continue to inspire our students.

At OAS, every culture has a story, every voice matters, and everyone belongs!

Sometimes the best school moments are the unexpected ones!

During lunch today, our Executive Principal was spending time connecting with students when several approached and asked to take selfies together!

These simple moments reflect what makes OAS special: meaningful relationships, genuine connections, and a school community where students feel comfortable, seen, and valued.

At OAS, belonging is built one interaction at a time!

¡UN SOLO CORAZÓN, MUCHAS VOCES!

As part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration, OAS students received a note and a pen to recognize a staff member who makes them feel welcomed, valued, and that they truly BELONG.

Students personally delivered their heartfelt messages along with the pens, turning a simple gesture into a powerful moment of gratitude and connection.

Many voices, one heart, one OAS family!

Writing in action in Ms. Brown’s classroom!

Students are learning how to organize a compare-and-contrast essay using the Painted Essay strategy. By using colors to identify each part of the essay, our Owls are strengthening their writing skills and building a clearer understanding of essay structure!

➗⏱️ Math stations were moving fast at OAS today in Ms. Gerald-Ruffin's Class!

Our eighth graders reviewed Unit 2, Lessons 1–3, while our seventh graders reviewed Unit 2, Lessons 1–4. Students worked together at timed stations and switched to a new challenge every five minutes!

The first group to complete all of the stations earned a special reward. We are proud of our Owls for working together, staying focused, and strengthening their math skills! 💜🦉

💜A Little Friday Treat for Our OAS Team! 💜

Today, our amazing OAS staff received a little surprise delivered by Executive Principal Dr. Gomez!

A cart full of snacks, drinks, and a friendly reminder to complete the Upbeat Survey, along with a heartfelt wish for a wonderful weekend!

Sometimes, the smallest gestures are simply a way to say THANK YOU for the hard work, dedication, and love our staff pours into our students every day.

😂 And to my OAS staff… if you enjoyed your snack but STILL haven’t completed the Upbeat Survey, just know that the snacks were free, but the reminder comes with unlimited refills! 🤣💜

Your voice matters, your feedback matters, and most importantly, YOU matter!

Enjoy your well-deserved weekend, OAS family! 💜💛
