THE MONTH OFAugust! CHILL ON THE HILLS TEACHERS

Of The Hill

The beginning of the school year is stressful for everyone, but especially our teachers and administrators! With new lessons, new students, and a new year, it’s easy for teachers to begin to feel overwhelmed. Mrs. Tran, Oak Grove's AP Psychology teacher, felt that we should reward our staff for all their hard work by giving them the time to relax and enjoy themselves amongst their peers. When this idea was proposed to Mr. Chung, ASB immediately knew that we would support our Oak Grove staff. Every Tuesday our Leadership team will set up the hill with canopies and speakers to prepare for our weekly Over The Hill On The Hill event! The event's debut was a huge success for teachers with support from Mrs. Black, Dr. Johnson, Mr. Kwong and more of Oak Grove’s favorite teachers and staff! Teachers like Mrs. Black and Mrs. Tran say that they are excited to see this event repeated in upcoming weeks and hope to see even more teachers attend as the event gains more popularity!

Seniors On The Hill

On Friday August 19th, Senior Class Board hosted its first Chill on the Hill of the year! Class of 2023's takeover featured a variety of new and fun activities. For the perfect photo 'op', the seniors created a cute Sanrio themed backdrop strung across the stage. Many seniors got together to take photos together including our very own senior board! The seniors also played Class of 2023's favorite tunes, releasing a song recommendation form in advance and compiling a playlist of their class' preferred tracks. The highlight of the Seniors' takeover however was definitely their fun and exciting game of musical chairs! With the chance of winning a Target gift card at stake, eight seniors battled it out by the hill with Royce coming out as the winner! The seniors enjoyed the game so much that they played another round for fun, this time attracting a few underclassmen and crowning Douglas as the winner of the second round.

Freshmen Of The Hill

In the midst of Oak Grove's diverse chill on the hill themes, Ms. Peth along with our Link Crew leaders hosted an enthusiastic Chill on the Hill dedicated to the special Class of 2026! This event followed their scavenger hunt as an opportunity to submit their completed scavenger hunt list and receive their prize! The reward was a variety of ice cream popsicles, perfect for the scorching hot Friday weather. On the 26th of August during lunch, the hill was crowded with students eager to claim their ice cream cones. On the same Friday, a military organization also came onto school campus to recruit potential students who were interested in their program! Coincidentally, they were also offering Otter Pops to the students! Oak Grove students had a refreshing and relaxing end to their week with double the ice cream!
