Life after Mt Oaks: College in the United Kingdom and Travels
Presented by Kelly Dolan, a former Mountain Oaks Student
Thursday, Oct. 7th, 2:30-3:30P.

Kelly Dolan is one of our graduating alums who is presently visiting here in Calaveras County. After high school, Kelly attended UCLA to receive his BA. He then received his MA from Oxford and his high school teaching credential at Cambridge (both in the U.K.). All of his degrees are in his favorite subject, Geography.

Join us to hear about some of his adventures in college and around the world!
Huckleberry Room
Please remember to do your own dishes and pick up any messes that you make in the Huckleberry lunch room. It is best if you remind one another, so you will be spared being asked to pick up by staff members. If the lunch room becomes too dirty, we shut it as a reminder that we do not have a maid at Mountain Oaks. We all need to be responsible for our own clean-up! Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
Once again it's time to find an interested high school student who is willing to volunteer to serve as the non-voting student representative to the Governing Board. If you are willing to serve for one year on the Mountain Oaks' Governing Board, please see your site secretary click below for an application. Applications are due to be turned in to an administrator by October 1st.
