When I was asked to write something about Oakwood, I thought that would be an easy job. I was wrong. How do you put into words a feeling?
My experience at Oakwood as a grandparent has been fantastic. I’ve watched my grandchildren blossom into amazing young adults well prepared to thrive in college and life.
They have had so many wonderful educational and fun experiences. Trips abroad, sports, clubs, and friendships—memories that will last forever. The kindness, attention, and guidance from teachers and staff are exceptional.
My husband, Len, and I watched our grandchildren grow into their unique personalities. They were encouraged to be their true selves here at Oakwood. We could see them shine.
It was important to us to contribute to Oakwood to help it continue to be a beacon of education for years to come.
Since my husband passed away, I've tried to keep that passion for giving as a legacy to him and as a thank you to Oakwood for providing the environment for children to learn, grow, and prosper.
