It's going to be more than a traditional Alumni Reunion weekend. On October 11-13, 2024, all former students and staff members at Flint Creek Junior Academy, Ozark Academy, and Ozark Adventist Academy are invited to return to the banks of Flint Creek and Celebrate Ozark Adventist Academy's legacy and history with a 100-year Alumni Reunion celebration. Ozark's staff members and alumni are planning a weekend you are not going to want to miss!
Besides the traditional Friday evening vespers, Sabbath school, and church services, we are planning things like a Friday evening bonfire, Sabbath afternoon lawn concert, and Saturday night variety show. Be sure to brush up on those gymnastic moves, dust off those drama props, and warm up those vocal cords! The alumni are also making plans to serve haystacks on Friday evening and homemade vegeburgers for Saturday supper all under a gigantic white tent out on center campus. And on Sunday morning, there is a pancake breakfast.
It is going to be a full weekend and there are many manys to help. If you have a act for the Saturday night variety show, a musical number for the lawn concert, or just want to help serve tomatoes for Friday evening's haystack dinner, please contact Renee Patterson at 479-736-2221 ext. 131 or by email at [email protected]. We would love to talk to you.
For those who are unable to join us on Sabbath, October 12, 2024, the Gentry SDA Church will be live-streaming the worship service at 11:00 a.m. The live-stream will be available live on the Gentry SDA Church's website. It will also be archived on their Facebook page.
Need a place to stay for the weekend? A limited number of guest rooms are available in the dormitory at OAA for $50 per night. Please contact us at 479.736.2221 to check availability and make a reservation.
Just around the corner and down the street from Ozark (across the street from Sleepy Hollow store) is the Apple Crest Inn. Run by an OAA alumnus it is hard to find a place closer to campus. Apple Crest Inn may be contacted at 479.525.6059.
Discover Siloam Springs also has a list of hotels in nearby Siloam Springs.
