VIKING COUNCIL!!!
​Oakdale Grade School has created the "Viking Council". This is like a student council that any student in grade 5-8 may join. The focus of the Viking Council is to make Oakdale Grade School a better place to learn, make friends, and have fun! Viking Council meets once a week to decide what activities will be planned. Members of Viking Council will help younger kids know about the negative effects of bullying, by putting on skits or reading books to them. Other ideas include a tutoring program, school improvement, and helping out in the community. The 5th-8th grade students in Viking Council learn how to deal with bullies and what to do if someone is getting bullied. Oakdale Grade School was the recipient of a $500 grant offered by Tri-County Electric. This money will go towards Viking Council activities.

The first activity the Viking Council will be doing is a Winter Clothes Drive.
​Donations of new or gently used winter clothes will be accepted and may be sent to school with your child or dropped off at school.Then, on December 15th from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, the winter clothes will be sold for $1 each. Any unsold clothes will be donated. This is a great activity to help out people in the community!
Viking Council plans on doing more activities to help out the community and continue to make Oakdale Grade School a great place to learn!
Be ready for an activity next week!! More information will be posted.
