Harvest for the Hungry Success!

We wanted to share some exciting news regarding the 2022 Harvest for the Hungry Food and Fund Drive, Oak Hill officially won the award for the school that brought in the most donated items, totaling 5,177 pounds! AND Oak Hill was the 3rd top school overall in combined food and funds collected (5,526.14).

We were blown away by the generous support from the Oak Hill Community. A special thanks to Mr. Mastandrea and Leah Paley, for working behind the scenes to coordinate the drive on behalf of the school. Thank you to everyone at Oak Hill (students, parents, teachers, and staff) for rising to the occasion to help our neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
