The Oak Crest Parent Foundation

The Oak Crest Parent Foundation raises money to enhance the educational experience at Oak Crest. All money raised by the Parent Foundation stays at Oak Crest to benefit our school and we do our best to spend all money raised in that same year. Oak Crest faculty and staff can request funds through the Principal, who brings requests to the Foundation Board monthly. From PE equipment to technology to art supplies to books, we fund across the curriculum with the goal of impacting as many students as possible. Our school needs your support in order to continue to fund these requests and enrich the student experience at Oak Crest.

The membership drive is the main fundraiser for the Parent Foundation. This drive is kicked off at the beginning of each school year, but you can make a donation at any time. Please support our children by donating to the foundation.
