Congratulations Color Run Winners!

A huge thank you to our Martian PTO for organizing and hosting our fantastic Color Run fundraiser! We are incredibly grateful to all of our families, friends, and community members who generously donated to support Oaktree. It was wonderful to see our students having so much fun enjoying this exciting event together. We especially want to thank our Martian PTO for their continued dedication and generosity in supporting our students, teachers, and school community. We truly appreciate all that you do to make Oaktree such a special place!
