We also have a strong character education program to ensure students develop exceptional leadership skills. The character education program includes service learning projects and a focus of five core virtues - respect, responsibility, perseverance, gratitude and humanity.

Five years ago the <a href="http://www.dot.state.mn.us/i35wbridge/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">I-35W bridge</a> over the Mississippi River collapsed, killing 13 people and injuring 145 people. The tragedy occurred on Aug. 1, 2007. Since then the Minnesota Department of Transportation and other authorities have continued to work toward ensuring the safety of bridges across the state.  Oakdale is home to 23 bridges and one is defined as "functionally obsolete," according to the <a href="http://nationalbridges.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Bridge Inventory Database</a>. Functionally obsolete means the bridge's design is no longer functionally adequate for its task. <a href="http://nationalbridges.com/guide-to-ratings" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">According to the NBID website</a>, a functionally obsolete status could mean a bridge is safe and structurally sound, but it has other aspects that need updating.  The bridge is along County State Aid Highway 10 and crosses over Interstate 694. Here are some quick facts about the bridge: <ul> <li>Built in 1967</li> <li>Status: Functionally Obsolete</li> <li>Average daily traffic: 16,500</li> <li>Sufficiency rating: 91 percent</li> <li>Material design: Steel</li> <li>Meets current acceptable standards for the following: transitions, guardrail and guardrail ends.</li> <li>The structural elements that support the bridge deck and the bridge's foundation are considered in good condition.</li> </ul> How safe do you think bridges are ?   <a href="http://www.facebook.com/OakdalePatch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Like us on Facebook</a> | <a href="http://twitter.com/OakdalePatch" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Follow us on Twitter</a> | <a href="https://oakdale.patch.com/newsletters" rel="nofollow">Sign up for our newsletter</a>
