Dear Oakies,
We have heard you! I am thrilled to announce that the Oakcrest Alumnae Association has launched a new networking platform, AlumniFire, and we've redesigned our Oakcrest Alumnae Webpage. Additionally, it was announced at the Gala that our alma mater is growing yet again, with the addition of our new Athletic Center set to break ground this June!
A big thank you to all of you that participated in the Oakcrest Gala with your donations, purchases, and participation! The involvement from our alumnae community (students and parents) was unprecedented. Even the OAA donated a basket, "Cocktail Party Comes to You"! A very special thank you goes out to alumnae parents, Lisa and Brad Smith and Suzanne and Jack McCreery for their continued leadership on the Gala. We, along with many of our parents, continue to be the building blocks of our school and the fruits of our efforts and dedication are shining through with each alumnae event and addition to our Oakcrest! Thank you all for your continued dedication. Each alumna that registered for an auction bid number was entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card .... and the winner is Michelle (Gieske) Clune '95.

Today marks our final Alumnae Week Event - Virtual Trivia Night. If you haven't already registered, please consider joining us for a fun night! Thanks to all alumnae who contributed to this week's Alumnae Giving Day. We hit our $500 Venmo match (@Oakcrest-School)! Feel free to make a gift if you missed out on Tuesday. As always, don't hesitate to reach out to me and I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
