  Dear Oakcrest Community,

  Recently we spoke with a friend who asked us how remote learning went for our daughter Aria, Oakcrest Class of 2024 last school year. We weren’t even sure what he meant at first. Then we realized it: he assumed that Oakcrest was virtual, like most other public and private schools around the country. He was shocked when we told him Oakcrest offered in-person learning, five days a week for the entire year.

  We write to you today as fellow parents who are blessed to have our daughters be shaped by a truly remarkable school. That Oakcrest remained open all year is an astounding accomplishment that reflects how special the school is, the courage and determination of the leadership, and the backing and encouragement of Oakcrest families.

   

  Oakcrest is a beacon of hope at a time of great upheaval in our nation. And to keep that beacon shining brightly, we seek your financial support.

   

  We are excited to announce the kick-off of this year’s Oakcrest Annual Fund, which helps ensure our daughters receive the finest intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual formation. Tuition only covers about 85% of an Oakcrest education, and unlike public or parochial schools, Oakcrest does not receive supplemental finances from the government or any diocese. Oakcrest counts on the generosity of the community to ensure all of our students continue to thrive.

   

  Last year, despite the many challenges we faced, the Oakcrest community stepped up and helped us exceed the Annual Fund goal. For this, we are grateful! This year our target for the Annual Fund is $400,000.

   

  As we move into a new academic year, Oakcrest is growing and reaching many more families than ever before. This exciting growth has inspired a number of new faculty members to join our team (including two Oakcrest alumnae). We have also worked hard to provide needed tuition assistance and keep tuition rates competitive by holding middle school tuition flat and adding a marginal increase for the upper school. Last year’s Annual Fund supported $175,000 in additional funding required for our safe reopening during Covid.

   

  Oakcrest provides young women the solid intellectual foundation that encourages discovery and lifelong learning. An Oakcrest education challenges our daughters to be confident women, founded in the truth, with a spirit to serve and well-rounded in ways that will positively influence the world. None of this would be possible without the ongoing generosity of Oakcrest parents, alumnae, and the broader Oakcrest community.

   

  The enclosed brochure provides additional information on the importance of the Annual Fund. Please join us as we foster Oakcrest’s continued success.

   

  Warm regards,
