Desserts Cookbook : In Loving Memory of Addrianna Christianson
by: HOLZUM SARAH
A group of Savanna Oaks 8th grade students have created a desserts cookbook in memory of Addrianna Christianson, a student our school community lost during the summer of 2020. Addrianna loved baking and would often bring her treats in to share with friends and staff. This group of students wanted to create something that would bring them together in celebration of Addrianna's life. Recipes have been submitted by Addrianna's friends, as well as staff at Savanna Oaks. You can order a cookbook online, or purchase one in person with cash or check, at Savanna Oaks. Cookbooks are $15.00 and all proceeds will go towards a positivity space at SOMS. The goal is that future grades will find a spot of positivity and good vibes in our school, in memory of Addrianna.

Upham Woods 6th grade Outdoor Experience
by: WILBRICHT KRISTEN
Upham Woods is a year-round environmental education center that offers young people an exciting view into the natural world. Its goal is to provide a learning environment where young people gain first-hand experiences in the natural sciences, group living, citizenship and outdoor education. Each year expenses increase and each year we have scholarship requests consistently in excess of $1000. This project aligns with the district mission of EVERY student MUST be successful by allowing ALL students a shared outdoor experience. We find this shared experience bonds our middle schools early in their 6th grade year. This bonds are continued to be built upon through the three year at SOMS. This project expands the traditional classroom learning for all students. Something special happens as the group of students and chaperones rides the bus, hikes all over camp, participating in over twelve hours of outdoor activities, eats meals together family style, and sleeps in cabins.

DONOR'S CHOOSE Page for ProjectLIT
by: SYMES STEPHANIE
We will set up a Donor's Choose Page to raise money to start our ProjectLIT chapter. ProjectLIT is a community of readers focused on culturally-relevant, high-quality literature. The goal is to promote a love of reading with teachers, students, and community members from all over the United States. We would like to start a Savanna Oaks Middle School ProjectLIT chapter to empower our own passionate readers. Eventually, we will engage in a service-learning project to help our students grow as citizens, leaders, and readers.
