Specials supplement and enhance the curriculum at Oakwood by sharing
their expertise of specific subjects. Our students benefit from these skilled instructors who are passionate about
sharing their interests with them.
Art Teacher
Mary Prince
Children have an innate desire to express themselves, to create and to communicate. I work to foster a cooperative and
supportive art experience which allows Oakwood students to express their uniqueness and develop their own individual capabilities
for imagination and growth.
P.E. Instructor
Barbara Clark
As the Oakwood P.E. teacher, I believe in
encouraging students to become physically aware and capable of making informed and intelligent lifetime wellness decisions.
This can be acquired by developing healthy social skills through participation in structured, age-appropriate physical activities
and sports. The Oakwood P.E. program teaches safe practices, encourages problem solving and goal setting, and provides
opportunities for sportmanship building while working as a team member. I am honored to participate in each child's
development of lifetime habits of fitness and in every child's right to a sense of well being.
Spanish Teacher
Maestra Daniella
Yoga Teacher
Jodie Bell
I am so pleased to be working
with your children as their yoga teacher. It is very important for children to develop the
awareness of listening to and connecting with their bodies. Yoga techniques contribute to coordination, self-confidence, emotional
stability, coping mechanisms and physical fitness.
My goal is that each child will take these skills
and use them to make healthy choices each and every day.
Music Teacher
Stephanie Baker
I am very excited to teach elementary age children. I love their energy and enthusiasm. I think we have a
lot to share with each other. Oakwood is a unique setting in which to begin their journey of learning, and I hope
to make music an integral part of that journey. Music is for everyone, and I look forward to providing an
environment for children to enjoy and appreciate all that music has to offer.
