These rules have been instituted to help you and protect you as you learn and grow with us. That is why we insist that you follow them. There may be times that these rules don’t cover each situation, and at those times remember that you are an O&P young lady and you should and will be expected to act with honor and decorum. As you grow we know that you will want to push your boundaries, but remember that all actions have consequences.
Your time at Oaks and Pines is a time you will remember.
