We are so excited to offer regional science and engineering fairs for our TK- 8th grade students at our next Sage Oak Socials! We encourage you to complete this Science & Engineering Fair entry form to enter your student in their regional exhibition. The entry form allows you to choose from six Social locations – Redlands area, Fontana area, Calabasas area, Fullerton area, Buena Park area, or Temecula area. You have the choice to attend the location closest to you or connect with your Sage Oak friends and enter in the same exhibition location. This is going to be STEM-tastic! For more details and resources check out the Sage Oak Science & Engineering Fair Planning Guide.
For students seeking additional guidance with their science fair project, sign up for our free TK-8th grade Oakschool class, Getting Ready for the Science & Engineering Fair, which meets on Thursdays at 10 am.
We can’t wait to see what our Future STEM World Changers come up with!
Sage Oak’s Annual Letter Drive
Being a Future World Changer starts here and now! 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 currently nearly 30 submissions and will run through Friday, January 6th, 2023. Please check out our Letter Drive informational sheet and complete one survey per letter sent so we can keep track of our student’s selfless acts of kindness. Last year our amazing students 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.

Test Prep
Check out this informational flyer and video from one of our amazing Community Providers, Mr. D Math. He highlights the importance of taking the CAASPP test because it helps to build executive functioning skills for students.
Learning life skills such as defining and achieving goals, stress tolerance, and time management are just a few great abilities to name that can be learned and gained from the experience of testing.
