image0-1

The Oak Elementary School PTO held their Spring Fling Fundraiser on May 16. Led by Kacy Baker and Heather Beck, the successful event drew 160 attendees to the Chicago Highlands Club, including Oak parents, staff, and several D181 Board of Education members. The event raised approximately $70,000, which will be used for the construction of a new playground fence at Oak Elementary School. The evening was a great demonstration of community support and collaboration, contributing significantly to a meaningful improvement for the students.
