In spite of the many ways that COVID-19 has made life unpredictable, Oakcrest students have continued in their dedication to service. This year students have found many creative ways to serve both those in their immediate community and beyond.
In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving break, students participated in a schoolwide Thanksgiving food drive benefiting St. Stephen’s Food Pantry at St. Jude parish in Rockville, Md. Oakcrest math teacher Jennifer Kilmer and her family, who are St. Jude’s parishioners, volunteer at St. Stephen’s Pantry. They first got involved over the summer when it was set up to bring relief to those suffering from the economic impact of the COVID-19 closures. Oakies brought in box loads of canned cranberry sauce, stuffing mix, instant potatoes and biscuit mix and donated enough food to feed more than 400 families Thanksgiving dinner.
