Recently, we gathered for our annual Fundraising Teas, welcoming members of the Oak Grove community for an afternoon of stories, reflection, and connection.
Thank you to all parents, volunteers, students, teachers, staff, board members, and alumni for coming together to make our Annual Fundraising Tea a success.
The yearly theme becomes a shared inquiry across the school in classrooms, professional development, and conversations throughout the year.
Perhaps peace asks something more of us. To stay present. To listen with curiosity. To speak honestly without causing harm. To remain connected even when we disagree.
Sitting in the morning sunlight, standing on a ridge with students, their parents, and two colleagues 1600 feet above Ojai. We are listening to the story of Tonantzin told by a young mother with her infant snuggling in a rebozo on her chest.
The work of liberation calls us to listen deeply, learn continuously, & dismantle racism & the structures that perpetuate inequality and oppression.
Research continues to affirm that quiet, unstructured moments, even moments that feel boring, are not empty. They are essential.
Is Oak Grove a bubble, removed from the “real world”? It’s an important question, and one worth looking at carefully.
This year, as we mark our 50th, we chose the theme The Art of Living and Learning. Krishnamurti said that true learning begins with direct observation of “what is,” free from judgment or distortion – a clear attention unclouded by fear, comparison, or the pressure to become.
Written in the center of the display is the question, “How can I become a voice for kindness and fairness when someone is being treated unfairly?”
