Did Mr. Kaye know what he was signing up for as Leonard’s new principal? Probably not a night on the roof! After students crushed their Fund Run goal, he kept his promise, complete with a rooftop bedtime story! 📖🌙

Big thanks to Mr. Kaye, the students, families, and staff for making this such a success! 💙💛

They really do put on the Greatest Show! 🎶

The marching band’s energy and music bring so much joy to Friday nights, and this year’s performance of The Greatest Showman has been impressive! After spending long, hot days at camp before the school year, the band works extra hard to prepare for the season.

Big thanks to Wheaton Photography for the great photos!

Dear Oxford Families,

I want to take a moment to share something important with you. We’ve put together a very short video (just 2½ minutes) that explains what will be on the ballot this November. I implore you to watch it. It has even helped me, as the district superintendent, to better understand the proposals, and I hope it will help you feel informed as well.

Absentee voting has already started, and Election Day is just around the corner on November 4. If you find the video helpful, please consider forwarding it to friends and family who live in Oxford, or sharing it on social media if you’re comfortable doing so.

For additional information including Frequently Asked Questions, please visit https://oxfordschools.org/millage. Thank you for taking a few minutes to be informed; it truly makes a difference!

With gratitude,
Dr. Tonya Milligan, Superintendent
