A COMBINATION OF THE ARTS WERE CELEBRATED AT
EVENING UNDER THE OAKS

Thanks to a National Endowment for the Arts - Challenge America Grant, our Performing Arts students learned from incredible instructors in preparation for an Evening Under the Oaks. Everyone is still talking about our students' performance of one of the most
beautiful renditions of The National Anthem, under the direction of Miss Stacey Dove. We were thrilled to have some of our students from Oak Grove at The Ranch on-hand to perform a stirring piece under the direction of Miss Kimmie Morrow.

With Great Improvement comes Great Reward!

Encouragement is the key to success! When a youth comes to Oak Grove, at times their future can seem like an insurmountable challenge. We had the joy of hearing a Tale of Transformation presented by staff members who nominated this young man as he has shown significant improvement.
We put together a beautiful video (below) from one of our students who took the Double Dare Challenge - enjoy! A big thank you to our supporters who volunteered to be a MISTT Mentor over the next month, providing special encouragement with a phone call, postcard, and words of Encouragement! We invite you to the next MISTT Awards on May 19th at 1:15 in the library. Mark your calendar!
