Napa County Recycling and Waste Services recognizes Oxbow for our outstanding recycling and compost efforts in the community. To win the 2013 city award, nominees were surveyed to learn how much non-recyclable trash was in their recycling bins as well as the reverse. On April 8, 2014, Oxbow received the California State Legislature Certificate of Recognition, the Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition and the State of California Senate Certificate of Recognition. California Congressman Mike Thompson, State Senators Noreen Evans and Lois Wok and State Assembly Member Mariko Yamada made the presentations to Tracy Bates, our Head Chef and the person responsible for coordinating our campus recycling program. This is the third time Oxbow has received this award, the first in 2011 and second in 2012.

This award was made possible through the efforts of ALL Oxbow - faculty, staff and students. The award included a cash prize.

Thanks and congratulations!

I want to thank you all for being so supportive and wonderful, thank you for running this incredible program. And half of my acceptance to RISD is because of Oxbow. (Especially thanks to Chris who wrote my letter of rec, to Jennifer who revised my essays, to the admissions team who helped me with my portfolio.

Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

Oxbow gave Will a voice and a community. Under the nurturing attention of his wonderful teachers, he learned that he had the intellectual capability to express himself and that his unique point of view was, in fact, an asset.
