This Year’s School Theme – Strengths of Character

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5)
Healthy character development is a key element of education at Oak Arbor School. We want our students to love the Lord with their heart, their soul and their strength just as the ancient Israelites were encouraged to do so in their development as a nation. And just as we’re told that Jesus as a child "grew strong in spirit", we also want our students to be actively working on their character strengths every day in various ways.
There are so many strengths of character, or virtues – how can we narrow the list? Here are six categories that we are using to provide a framework:
    Respect
    Trustworthiness
    Responsibility
    Fairness
    Caring
    Citizenship
Throughout the year, this will be the topic of our Friday whole-school morning worship services. And we will discuss ways to make this theme practical and applicable throughout the school day.

Fascinating Field Trip - Voyageur Canoe Program @ Stoney Creek Metro Park

On Tuesday, May 26 Mr. Brock's 5th and 6th grade students went on a field trip to Stoney Creek Metro Park to take part in their "Voyageur Canoe" program, in which the students learned about the life of the French Voyageurs in the Great Lakes area. This is a part of our Michigan History unit. As a part of the experience they went out onto the lake in a replica of a Voyageur canoe.
