Happy MLK Day, Oaks families!
We are grateful as a community for the way God uses men and women like Martin Luther King Jr. to create spaces for conversation regarding equality and value for human life and purpose.

π We have some really incredible news to share on this Giving Tuesday!π
Some of our founding donors - out of commitment to the long term health of our school - have offered to match, or amplify, any amount you are able to give, up to $30,000. The match gift applies to donations made during November or December of 2020.
As you consider year end giving, please remember our school. Now is a time to count no gift too small, and to each do what we can to join our founding donors in their efforts to secure low tuition rates, excellent staff, and operational health at The Oaks.
We are thrilled by the way God has provided, and we are hopeful when we think about the future.
Thank you for joining us in this good work! You may click the link below to make a donation:
