Open Alternative School

Just sharing a few pics I took at OAS's last end of the year pancake breakfast. It was a very sad week, saying goodbye to Luna's beloved school. I will forever be thankful that Luna got three amazing years there. Thank you, teachers (especially Ann) and staff, for your expert guidance and all the love and care you shined on our kiddos. We will miss you!

Ann's Class got an incredible treat today, a field trip to Arroyo B***o beach compliments of the NatureTrack Foundation. As you can see the kids didn't have much fun 😜. A huge thank you to the docents/volunteers who lead our groups and shared their knowledge. We would not be able to do these trips without your organization.

Hello lovely community. This Thursday is our final play. As you know, Big E has been inspiring our students since the first days of OAS. We are trying to put together a book of memories for Big E and Maureen. Please post or PM a story, pictures, memory we can include in their book. Thank you in advance for helping us!

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out tonight! It was so heart warming to spend the evening with so many alumni and current families. What a fun evening! ❤️

Tonight is the night! Please join us for Festival of Lights from 5:30- 7 pm at OAS. Enjoy celebrations from around the world, the holiday store, warm food and drink and of course, great company. Hope to see you there!

Hello OAS community near and far. Our final Festival of Lights is rescheduled for Thursday, January 11th 5:30-7 pm. We'd like to extend an invitation to all current and alum families to join us for crafts, great socializing and of course, warm food and drink! The Holiday Store will also be open.....come buy a new year memory from one of our young entrepeneurs. Hope to see you there!

Dear Families
With the Thomas Fire and poor air quality- OAS staff will postpone the Festival of Lights until January 2018
Thank you for your understanding and keep safe
-OAS Staff

Hello OAS Community
We hope you are staying safe and finding ways to stay out of this terrible air! We would like to reach out to all of you in the hopes of helping the people affected by the Thomas fire. We know we will be having conversations surrounding this when we return and think this will be a good starting point.
It is a tradition that each class creates a themed basket to raffle at Festival of Lights with the funds going back to our foundation to support our students. This year we would like to create one basket to raffle with all funds going to the people affected by the fires.
Our theme: Community Counts…..think local, (but not limited to)….if you know of someone with a restaurant or business who can donate to the basket….a local artist who would like to contribute…etc.
We are sure you can add to this list and help fill this basket for raffle. Tickets will be sold at the event for $5 each or 5 for $20. If there is someone who would like to put something together Monday to send home for children to sell tickets, please let us know!

Love
Your OAS Staff
