Spring Celebrations

Spring ends with a send-off. Grandparents in the classroom, songs for the Earth, a World's Fair in May, and then our graduates go on their way.

March

Montessori Moments: Each March, parents and guardians spend another morning in their students’ classrooms, receiving lessons, exploring the classroom and sharing time together.

April

Grandparents Day: On Grandparents Day, a PTO event, grandparents visit the classroom and get to know their grandchildren’s school community.

Earth Day (Students Only): On Earth Day, the whole school celebrates our planet and its natural resources and explores ways to care for it. Students gather to sing and reflect on the gifts and beauty of the earth.

May

World’s Fair & Student Art Show (formerly known as the International Festival): Each May, the World’s Fair celebrates cultures from around the world and highlights our three-year continent study. It includes our annual Student Art Show, classroom STEAM projects, student performances, crafts and guest artists. Families are invited to dress in traditional clothing from a country of their choice.

Graduations: Graduations are a special part of life at Five Oaks Academy. They include the Kindergarten Bridging Ceremony, the Lower Elementary Peace Ceremony, 6th Grade Commencement and Middle School Graduation. At every level, our teachers honor each student’s achievements in a meaningful, heartfelt way.
