Welcome To Our New Staff
We are excited to introduce you to a couple of our new staff for the
2014-2015 school year! God has blessed us with two wonderful,
well-equipped ladies to take up the rope and pull with us here at
Oasis as we “Make Every Effort” to inspire students for the life of
service that our Lord has for them.

Melanie West
Our new addition to the
Math faculty is Mrs.
Melanie West. Originally
born in New York,
Melanie moved to
Florida when she was
young and has called the
Orlando area home ever
since. She is an outdoors enthusiast who is as comfortable running
a trail as she is behind the handlebars of a Honda motorcycle. Her
hobbies include gardening, crocheting, running, and drawing. She
has thirteen years of experience homeschooling her three children
(her youngest graduated high school this past spring) and four years
of experience teaching in a private school prior to her arrival at
Oasis. We look forward to all that Mrs. West has to contribute to
our family here at Oasis.

Inspiring for Life
Joining our Early
Education Department
is Mrs. Sharleen Giles.
She will have the
opportunity to inspire
our K-3 students this
school year. Sharleen is
a Florida native born and
raised in Plant City who now calls Winter Haven home. Though
this is her first year teaching, Sharleen has been invested in our
school for several years. She has two children who live in the area
(Jason Saffels and Melissa Carr) and three grandchildren who all
attend Oasis (Christian Giles-10th, Joshua Carr-5th, and Michael
Carr-K5). When she’s not teaching, Sharleen enjoys sewing,
reading, and casting a line in the water. We thank God for allowing
us to transition such a faithful (grand)parent partner on to our
faculty. It’s so exciting to see Oasis family become part of our staff.
Family Fun Night
In just three short weeks, we will celebrate our first Family Fun Night
of the year. This promises to be a night to remember with spirited
competition, fantastic food, and sure-to-be blooper reel material.
Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one to capture the $10,000
moment on film? Please mark down Friday Night, OCTOBER 3rd,
on your calendars.
