Field Day 

Kindergarten through fifth graders enjoyed a fun-filled last day of school with the annual Oasis Field Day. 

Thanks to volunteers led by Erin Griffin the students were able to enjoy a variety of activities. These included bounce houses and other inflatable play structures, a mechanical bull, and a rock-climbing wall. The Churchill County Fire Department also provided a firetruck with a sprinkler for the kids to keep cool. 

The day would not have been complete without plenty of treats. Students could enjoy snow cones, cotton candy, and much more throughout the half-day of school.  

“Field day has become a favorite tradition at Oasis Academy. I am so grateful to Erin and her team of volunteers because this day takes months of planning and lots of volunteers to pull it off. These volunteers help create amazing memories for our students who, after a year of working hard, deserve this day,” said Melissa Mackedon, Oasis Chief Executive Officer. 

A Day at the Pool and Roller Rink 

Older students spent the last day of school at either the indoor swimming pool or at Top Gun Skate Center.  

Middle Schoolers spent the morning at the indoor pool and then headed outside to play games and enjoy ice cream from Kim’s Kool Treats. The Middle School Student Council planned the day.  

High Schoolers tied up skates and spent the morning at Top Gun Skate Center. The rink was rented solely for Oasis Academy College Prep Students. Along with their skate rentals each student had pizza and drinks. 

“This was a fun way for students and staff to spend the last day of the school year together. Thank you to Top Gun Skate Center for being so accommodating,” said Chief Academic Officer, Rochelle Tisdale.

Comment author: Patti Cole Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories. The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it. Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all. An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile. For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
