Reminder: Please take a moment to review our Mission Statement below, which defines our purpose and values to guide our actions and foster unity among participants as we work together toward our shared goals. We’re setting the “stage” and need your support in promoting collaboration, especially for group acts and related challenges like selecting participants, music, and choreography. Over the past few years, Ox Rocks has strengthened our community and boosted our team spirit. We look forward to working with Ox Ridge staff, students, and parents to model empathy, compassion, and problem-solving as we continue this wonderful tradition.
MISSION STATEMENT:
The foundation of Ox Rocks is to support confidence, camaraderie, and fun. Launched in 2023 alongside the new Ox Ridge building, Ox Rocks is rooted in tradition; a tradition that fosters creativity and community, which we hope will continue for many years to come.
Our annual talent show, held on the last Thursday in March, showcases a diverse range of 60-second acts performed by groups of up to ten students, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued. With the inspiring finale song “This is Me,” we empower our 5th graders to embrace their uniqueness and shine brightly on stage.
We also look to create a lively atmosphere with highlights such as Hootie at Halftime, a teacher performance or drum circle, and dynamic Emcees from our faculty. Our hardworking backstage crew, consisting of 4th and 5th graders, is essential to making the show a success.
At Ox Rocks, we believe that empowerment of our students always wins, and we strive to create an unforgettable experience that highlights the unique talents within our community.
