Dear Parents/Guardians:
Last month Oakview held its first-ever Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. Students had the opportunity to do projects and class presentations. To culminate the celebrations, the Councilwoman of Yonkers addressed our student body, and everyone enjoyed a variety of delicious cultural dishes at the food festival.
Also, in October the students learned about proper dental care and how damaged or misaligned teeth can be treated and corrected when iSmile Orthodontics came to do a dental health presentation. All of the students received a toothbrush and toothpaste.
