🏕️Level Up Camp, put on by the North Oakland Community Coalition, made for a fantastic week at Oxford Middle School! Campers explored how words can help or hurt, and learned the difference between being aggressive and assertive. They practiced working together and standing up for themselves during fun challenges like building spaghetti and marshmallow towers. We wrapped up the week with pizza, popsicles, and a special visit from the Oxford Township Fire Department. Thank you Fire Marshal Frantz and Lt. Racer for letting everyone cool off under the fire hose! What a great way to end a week of teamwork and growth. #OCSWildcats #WorldClassWildcats

Clear backpacks will no longer be required for middle and high school students. ✴️. Evolv use will remain in place for after-school events when 1,000 or more people are expected.

🏈 Former Detroit Lions player Lomas Brown spent the morning with our Crossroads Day School students, sharing powerful messages about self-respect, goal setting, and resilience. He talked with students about setting boundaries, not letting others bring them down, and making their wellbeing a priority so they’re able to support others. His words were motivating and meaningful for everyone in the room. Thank you, Lomas, for taking the time to connect with our Wildcats and to Principal Don Maskill for making this incredible experience possible! 🙌 #WorldclassWildcats #OCSWildcats
