July 16, 2026 in Schools

School's out! So sang Alice.
July 9, 2026 in Schools

The original song said "School's out for summer" but Oberon doesn't feel like summer right now, so we will have to make allowances. The last week of term was still filled with activities, with no winding down for the schools around the town.
