November in California - #4

A lovely tradition at Oaks Christian School is "Grandparents Day". We've been blessed to attend three of these since moving from California. It's a lovely morning with a continental breakfast followed by a choral and instrumental program; one program for the high school, then we toured with high school grandchild and then repeated for the middle school. So this year we were able to visit and meet some of Lauren's freshman teachers and Katelyn's middle school teachers. It was wonderful!

It was a lovely, although a little hazy, day. The mountains in the background frame our sorely missed Conejo Valley!

 Lauren's algebra teacher - Miss Newcomb, a family friend. It was so nice to receive her really big hug!

Lauren and her English teacher, Mrs. Goeser.

Mrs. Smith is Lauren's honors biology teacher. Lo had just explained to us how the mitochondrial cell works. Sorry to say, I need another explanation - and - I had to look up the spelling!

The beautiful new student store.

It is really fun is to meet the kids' friends. Sweet girls!

A school visit is not complete without popping in to Jeff's classroom, where we were warmly welcomed. I love the quotes Jeff has on his walls. The one behind him says, "Don't populate a seat .. INHABIT THE ROOM".

Off to middle school to meet Katelyn's teachers. Mrs. Armstrong, Art.

This was a fun project depicting the student's family. Mom, Dad, little sister Allison holding the cat, Jordyn, Lauren. brother Cole on the right. Katelyn is second from right, doing the handstand. That's our girl! And the family dog in the front. Loved the colors and techniques.

History teacher Mr. Wolfson.

Katelyn and her Bible teacher, Miss Turner.

A visit to OCS and you'll quickly notice something very important, just how much the teachers love their students. Awesome!!

Another lovely day at OCS then to In 'n Out for lunch and home to make pumpkin pies. The next day was Thanksgiving!
