Greetings from Maritere Crum, Alumnae Relations Coordinator | |
Welcome to 2022, Oakies! We have so many activities planned for this year. Be sure to check out the alumnae calendar so you don't miss out.
This past fall we were able to welcome so many of you back to campus and we are so happy to be able to continue to do so this spring. Don't be a stranger. Stop by and join us for Mass, pop in for a visit during the day, attend school sports events or any of the many alumnae or all school events throughout the year. Do forget to share your news with us and keep your contact information updated. We love to hear from you!
