Happy Easter, Oakies!
Our second annual Alumnae Week was full of fun, laughter, reconnecting and friendly competition! Thank you to all of the alumnae and alumnae parents that took part in making our week a great success.
We kicked-off the week with our Day of Service on Saturday morning. Thanks to all of your generosity, we were able to fill 10 layette bags for new moms at A Woman's Choice. We are especially grateful to Mrs. Juliana Dort (Sophia '18) for not only guiding us in our preparation, but assisting us throughout the morning.
Sunday's Catching up with the Faculty had us reconnecting and reminiscing with former faculty members, Elizabeth Black and Kate Makuc, as well as current faculty member, Jennifer Kilmer. Thank you to Katie (McNeish '16) Hill for moderating!
The Class Captain Meet and Greet on Monday night allowed us the opportunity to get to know our fellow Class Captains, and thanks to our alumna bartender, Laura Cermak '15, we learned how to make our signature Oakie cocktails and acquired some new cocktail making tips/tricks along the way. Congratulations to Alydia Ullman '20 for winning the raffle. She is the new recipient of the alumnae hat.
Our Spring Day of Giving helped us raise $1,759.91 towards tuition assistance, and a generous alum parent has offered to donate an additional $2500 if we meet the challenge of 25 NEW alumnae donors this year. We just need 12 more new donors. If you haven't already made a donation this year, please consider making your donation now to help us lock in the extra $2500 for the next generation. The Class of 1999 is currently in the lead with the highest amount of total giving this year. We have until June 30, 2022. The winning class will be honored in a special way during Homecoming Weekend.
On Wednesday night, we welcomed back alumnae parents who currently have daughters in college, for a wine and cheese social to make care packages for their girls. Lots of goodies were packed into those boxes!
Thursday night's Alumnae Trivia Night brought on the friendly competition. Thank you to Kathleen Ouyang '09 for hosting, and congratulations to Sophia Dort '18, Elena Buono '21 and Sophie (Buono '14) Martinson for being part of the winning team! Each of them received a $25 Amazon gift card - way to go Oakies!
We closed out the week with a Meditation and Stations of the Cross led by Fr. Marty in the school chapel.
It was an amazing week and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many of you! I can't wait for next year's Alumnae Week!
As always, please continue to stay in-touch and come by for a visit. We love to see you!
Sincerely,
Maritere
