Oak View students spent the last several weeks working on service learning projects during advisory time. The goal of this event is to shift student focus from personal insecurities to community needs. These programs help students build resilience, develop real-world problem-solving skills, and gain a tangible sense of competence and purpose during their most formative years. Our students are making an impactful difference in our community!
