The Tea is a yearly fundraising tradition that assists our school’s Annual Fund and helps to sustain our mission, providing essential support for every aspect of school life.

Thank you, Oak Grove Community!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone in our school community who came together this week for Oak Grove’s Fundraising Tea.

We were delighted to welcome current and former parents, grandparents, alumni, and staff to celebrate the intent and spirit that defines our school.

The event featured delicious food prepared by our kitchen team, a musical performance by high school students, and a video presentation created by our director of advancement, Joel Keeler, highlighting this year’s theme: A Light to Oneself, A Light to the World.

Speakers included Head of School Jodi Grass; staff member and parent Sandra Torres; alumnus Eric Olsen; OGS board member and parent Karan Yadav; and seniors Violet and Arianna, each offering their unique insights and reflections on their experiences at Oak Grove.

As our yearly fundraising tradition, the Tea assists our school’s Annual Fund and helps to sustain our mission, providing essential support for every aspect of school life.

For those who couldn’t join us, we invite you to watch a video of the event. If you would like to support our annual fund, please visit our giving page.
