TODAY!

☕Oakdale Coffee & Kleenex ☕

Kindergarten parents, this one is for YOU! 🥹🐾

Come enjoy a cup of coffee, meet other kindergarten families, share a few happy (and maybe teary!) moments, and ask questions as you navigate this BIG first step into elementary school.

Starting kindergarten is a big deal—for kids AND parents! Let’s gather, connect, laugh, maybe shed a tear or two, and remind each other that we’re all in this together. 🧡🧻🖤

We can’t wait to see you there! 🐾
