    Playground Update

    Install Date is Set


    Oxford News, Events

    ๐ŸŽ‰ Exciting News, Oxford! ๐ŸŽ‰

    Our brand new playground equipment is currently hanging out in a warehouse in Houston, TX ๐Ÿ—๏ธ—but not for long! It’s scheduled to arrive in Oxford on May 12th ๐Ÿšš and the installation will kick off that same morning at Napawalla Park!

    ๐Ÿ‘ท‍โ™‚๏ธ The install crew will be there bright and early to meet the delivery truck, unload all the awesome new pieces, mark the layout on the ground, and start building our fantastic new playground! ๐Ÿ›โœจ

    The whole process should take about a week (๐Ÿคžas long as the weather cooperates!), so we kindly ask everyone to be extra mindful of the crew while they work hard to bring this project to life. They’ve got a big job and a short window to make the magic happen! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒค๏ธ

    And guess what... we're throwing a BIG party at the end of the month to celebrate! ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽŠ You won’t want to miss it—so stay tuned for more details coming soon! ๐Ÿ“ฃ

    Arbor Day 2025

    Planting Trees


    Oxford News, Events

    ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒŸ Tree-mendous Day at Cave Park! ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒณ

    Today, Mrs. Donley’s amazing 6th grade class teamed up with the ๐ŸŒ† City of Oxford to plant FOUR brand-new redbud trees at beautiful Cave Park! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒธ

    ๐ŸŒฑ 2 trees found their new home on the North side, and 2 more settled in on the South side—talk about balanced beauty! ๐Ÿงญโœจ

    The students got their hands dirty and their minds growing as they learned all about ๐ŸŒณ tree planting 101:
    ๐Ÿ“ how deep to dig,
    ๐ŸŒฟ what a berm is,
    ๐ŸŒฐ and why mulch is a must-have finishing touch!

    And to top it all off… the day ended with a pizza party ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽˆ and a class photo on the backhoe ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿ“ธ—because every great tree-planting crew deserves a legendary finish!

    This awesome event celebrated not just Arbor Day ๐ŸŽ‰ but also the City of Oxford’s proud tradition as a ๐ŸŒฒ Tree City USA! Let’s keep planting, learning, and growing together! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒŽ

    Thank you to Mrs. Donley, all the 6th graders, and the City Utility Crew for making this happen!!
