We are happy to announce the recipients of this year’s Young Alumni Changemaker Award, Justin Babler-Kuebler ‘21 and Nala Urrutia ‘21. The Young Alumni Changemaker Award began in 2022 to recognize that Live Oak students do not wait to make an impact in their communities. The award honors current high school juniors and seniors who graduated from Live Oak that model empathy and responsibility, demonstrate a capacity to create change in the community, and inspire actions in others. 

This month 3 East students visited 826 Valencia to learn more about the craft of writing and published their own book: Don’t Delete Us. The field trip was an excellent opportunity for our students to explore creative writing, work collaboratively, and grow their confidence in the writing process. While at 826 Valencia, students were supported by writing coaches, a ghost writer, illustrator, and four courageous parent chaperones.

Lower school musicians are hard at work perfecting their xylophone parts and memorizing their lyrics for the Lower School Music Festival. Join us in the Grand Hall for the kindergarten through second grade show from 8:35am to 10am on Thursday, February 6, followed by the third and fourth grade performance on Friday, February 7 at the same time. Both events will be livestreamed, so keep an eye out for a link to view that video if you can’t make it in person. This year’s theme is “Water” and will feature aquatic tunes ranging from traditional folk numbers to classic rock favorites.

After a comprehensive search and interview process, we are excited to introduce Regina Hardatt as Live Oak School’s incoming Lower School Division Director and Asha Weber as Middle School Division Director starting in the 2025-26 school year.
