Trailer Needed for October & November |
Does your family own an enclosed trailer? Would you be willing to let Live Oak use it this fall? One Act Play and Student Life are in need of an enclosed trailer to safely transport items for competitions and camping trips in October and November. If you have a trailer you would be willing to loan to the school, please email Natalie Eberlein.

| Give to the Acorn Society by September 30 |
The Acorn Society is the network of Live Oak’s (grand)parent-led groups that champion the co-curriculars and community that make our school so special. Through Friends of Fine Arts, Booster Club, Parent Council, and our grandparents group Grand Falcons, families support our students and teachers, strengthen our programs, and create the traditions and experiences that bring our community together. Our events for the year are funded by the Acorn Society, so we are asking that parents and grandparents give before September 30 so we can establish our budgets for the year. If your child benefits from Fine Arts, Athletics, and Parent Council events, please consider giving today:

| Mr. Shively: You will be missed! |
Last week, we shared the bittersweet news that Mr. Shively will conclude his time at Live Oak on Friday, September 11. While we are sad to see him leave Live Oak, we are also very happy for him, as his new position will allow him greater flexibility to spend time with his son and daughter-in-law in Scotland. Over the past three years, Mr. Shively’s thoughtful presence has enriched not only our classrooms, but also our chapel and broader school community. We are deeply grateful for the ways he has invested in our students and colleagues, and he will be greatly missed. From Mr. Shively:
“These years have been incredibly rewarding in my teaching life. Your children have read difficult books and argued about them well. They have been more thoughtful, and kinder to one another, than teenagers usually get credit for being. That is your work as much as anyone’s. Thank you for trusting me with your children. It has been a privilege.” |

| Chapel Traditions: Bibles for Grammar 2 |
Our Grammar 2 students will be presented with Bibles during Chapel on Wednesday, September 23. This is a special tradition each year as we provide our students with their very own copy of Scripture that they may use throughout their Grammar School years and beyond. |
