1st Annual Read-A-Thon Success!

We are amazed at the success of our first Oneness-Family School Read-A-Thon! Thanks to our students' reading voracity and the generous pledges of their supporters, our school community read 733 books and raised more than $2,400 for the Oneness Fund in February!

We look forward to sharing more information about our students' favorite books, and to planning next year's event! Have some feedback for next year? Email Irene.

Important Carpool Reminders

We ask that all parents and guardians be extra careful when driving in the school parking lot and the carpool line, as many young students are in the vicinity.

Carpool Guidelines

• All cars in the carpool line must be attended. Please remain in your car with your hazard lights on, and pay attention to instructions from our carpool attendants.
• Do not make U-turns in the pick-up line or use our neighbors' driveways to turn around. Please travel only southbound on West Avenue.
• If you need to escort your child inside, please park your car in the school or Walsh lot before walking your child into the building.
