Our Annual Fund provides important funding in support of our teachers & staff, our academic & extracurricular programming, tuition assistance, and other operational needs. While our financial goal this year is $250,000, we also strive for 100% participation from our community. For this reason, we provide various opportunities during our Annual Fund Kick-off Week (October 27–November 3) for our students to participate - change drives, dress days, games, etc. This year, one game for our secondary students will be a punch board where students will punch through a hole to reveal and win a prize. As we collect prizes, we wanted to offer our community the chance to contribute to our prizes and earn service hours. (Every $20 donation = 1 service hour). Click HERE to sign-up for a gift card donation. More details to come on Annual Fund in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support of OCS!
