Giana Ortiz & Jacob Fain - Oakridge Fund Chairs

 

September 27, 2024

Dear Oakridge Family,

For those of you who have not yet met, we are Giana Ortiz and Jacob Fain. Our daughters, Classes of 2027 and 2029, started school here when they were in Pre-K and First grade. From the beginning, Oakridge School has been a family for them and for us as their parents. We have been TEAM OAKRIDGE for many years now, and we are proud to lead this year’s TEAM OAKRIDGE annual fund campaign. Your contribution will make a significant impact.

Our decision to invest in Oakridge stems from a deep belief in the power of education and the incredible potential within our school. Contributions to the fund directly enhance the quality of education, providing resources for innovative programs, updated technology, and essential extracurricular activities. These investments enrich our student’s learning experiences and foster a nurturing environment where they can thrive academically and personally.

This year, we will once again be focusing our annual fund efforts into a consolidated, 5-week campaign called TEAM OAKRIDGE. This condensed, 5-week effort, in September and October, has one focused goal: reaching 100% participation from Oakridge families, faculty and staff, and the board of regents.  With 100% participation, we can demonstrate and promote the Oakridge family bond. Your donation helps create opportunities that benefit our entire school community, from improved facilities to expanded support services. By contributing, you’re not only investing in our students’ futures but also in the collective strength and success of our school. Every gift, regardless of size, plays a crucial role in shaping the future of our school.

In the weeks to come, you will be hearing from TEAM OAKRIDGE Captains with more information on how to join TEAM OAKRIDGE.  Thank you for your dedication and for considering this important investment in our school community.

Warm regards,

Giana Ortiz & Jacob Fain.
