OAKS - Terra Forma Outdoor Program
https://outdooradventurekids.org/
Outdoor Adventure Kids (OAKs) is part of Terra Forma Education, a nonprofit with over 20 years of experience bringing outdoor learning to kids. The OAKs after-school program has been successfully running at Lincoln Elementary for several years, and with expanded capacity and open spots available, you can register at any time - they also offer scholarships for those in need to support participation.

*** Neither program is affiliated with Lincoln; both are independent programs that are housed within school facilities.

OAKs is an Outdoor Adventure Kids program in Olympia, WA, offering after-school nature-based learning experiences for elementary students that spark their imagination and connect them with the outdoors.

Invitation to Community Cafe 5/18 at 6:00: New Principal Selection process

Dear Options Community ,

This is an invitation to connect about selection process TONIGHT, Monday, 5/18, from 6:00-8:00 pm in the gym. Childcare will be provided and there will be pizza for the kids.

Join us for an evening of conversation and connection as we prepare to hire a new principal. Community Cafes are an opportunity for people to gather and have a series of small group conversations and then share the fruits of those conversations with the larger group.

We want everyone's voice to be included as we clarify our shared values and define what we are looking for in our next principal. We know that this is short notice and we appreciate your grace as we navigate the push and pull of end of the year events and the need to be timely with the hiring process.

We are about to embark on a big transition! Marcela is irreplaceable, and our program and our community is thriving thanks to her leadership. We are grateful for everything that we have learned from her and we will carry Lincoln Options into the future with a new principal.
