Sage Oak’s Annual Letter Drive This is the last week of our annual letter drive! Being a future world changer means that change starts locally and writing letters of thanks and gratitude to community members is the perfect way to spread love and encourage change. Please join us in making Sage Oak’s Annual Letter Drive another great success!
The Letter Drive is going strong with close to 70 submissions and will run through thisFriday, January 6th. Feel free to check out ourLetter Drive informational sheetand click below to complete one survey per letter sent so we can keep track of our student’s selfless acts of kindness. Last year our amazing students and staff sent nearly 80 letters to neighbors, retirement homes, teachers, military personnel, hospitals, police stations, and more. What an impact! Let’s work together to exceed that number this year and spread a little kindness.
Has your TK-12th grade student signed up to participate in your local Science & Engineering Fair yet?Now open to Sage Oak high school students!Don’t worry, there’s still time to sign up to display and present a science project at our January Sage Oak Socials onFriday, January 20th, 2023!
We encourage you to check out theSage Oak Science & Engineering Fair Planning Guideand complete thisScience & Engineering Fair entry formto enter your student in a regional exhibition. There is no deadline to enter and the more participants, the merrier! The entry form allows you to choose from six Social locations - Redlands, Fontana, Calabasas, Fullerton, Cerritos, or Murrieta. You can choose to attend the location closest to you or you can connect with your Sage Oak friends and all enter in the same exhibition location. We will no longer be holding a school-wide STEM Day in Rancho Cucamonga, so regional participants will not need to attend a school-wide competition in February. We are confident these regional competitions are going to be STEM-tastic!
In addition to the participating students’ Science Project displays, all Social attendants can look forward to science-based presentations and experiences by local science vendors. Think science experiments! Think big bubbles! Think animals! Your students will also get to engage in fun STEM activities! Check out thevenue and main attraction details here. We are super flexible with project parameters, as our overarching goal is to have students engage in the science or engineering method at whatever level they can. Feel free to send your questions to events@sageoak.education.
We can’t wait to see what our Future STEM World Changers come up with!
