Archivist's Corner Archives - Kingswood Oxford

Archivist's Corner

Hello All! As the new school year begins, I am already missing the excitement of meeting new students, advisees and parents and seeing colleagues and staff. After 38 years in the KO classroom as a Spanish teacher and advisor, I am officially retired. However, I am so very excited and happy to continue to be a member of the community as the KO Archivist, since 2012. I look forward to sharing interesting tidbits of Oxford, Kingswood, and KO history with you in Wyvern Tales.

 

A huge “thank you” to those of you who have sent donations of memorabilia to archives where they will be kept safe, environmentally protected and available for viewing upon request or on special occasions, such as reunions.

 

Donations such as photos, newspaper clippings, programs, trophies, brochures, etc… are always welcome in order to add to the already amazing KO Archives collection. If you have any questions or would like to make a donation, please contact me at semmelrock.b@kingswoodoxford.org

Open to the public! Join us for a dynamic morning at Kingswood Oxford’s Girls in Sports Day on January 31! Designed for girls currently in grades 4–8, this clinic offers a unique opportunity to try something brand new or participate in a familiar one. Participants will rotate through three pre-registered activities, all guided by the KO varsity head coaches. Select from:  basketball, softball, soccer, squash, volleyball, esports, golf, lacrosse, speed & agility, theater, dance, field hockey, and tennis.

 

This event is free of charge, and parents are welcome to either stay and watch or drop off their athletes for the session. Please arrive at the Hoffman Field House dressed to play and remember to bring a water bottle. Players will receive a free t-shirt, too!
