Day of Giving
“What If?”
…parents and their children could have an affordable choice in education?
…there was a school established upon the needs of the child, not the adult?
Many ask questions such as these, but few are willing to take the steps to see what could happen. Our founder, Lorene Dekko Salsbery, did not only ask the questions, but she took a step out in faith and acted on it. She did not need the answer first to know it was the right thing to do.
Join us the week of November 4th -8th, 2024 for Founder’s Week and the Day of Giving. This is a week dedicated to celebrating Lorene with a variety of events held across campus. The Day of Giving, on Friday, November 8th is when we honor her personal love of philanthropy. The generosity and spirit that fueled her vision to make Oak Farm Montessori School our reality. We ask you to join us in celebrating, “What If?” as our community works together to raise $90,000 and say, “thank you!”
Be sure to follow along on social media all week as our students participate in a variety of activities:
- Acoin for Change drive where our students collect change as they learn about our founder and the role philanthropy played in our school’s history. They work together and see how a little bit of change can make a big impact on our school community when we all work together!
- Spirit Week is designed each year by our Middle School students and is a fun way to celebrate our founder’s fun-loving spirit.
- Founder’s Day Classroom Celebrations are held on the Friday closest to her birthday on November 10th. These special ceremonies are each classroom's personal way of celebrating our history.
- The Day of Giving kicks off at 6:00 am and continues all day until we meet our goal of $90,000. Follow along on social media to catch all the excitement of this day!
