OHS HOLDS HURRICANE KATRINA FUNDRAISER
 
Oakcrest High School students recently participated in a fund raiser for the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. History Teacher Doug Cervi, the Girls Athletic Association, and the Social Studies Seminar class organized the event.

Using an idea from another high school, Oakcrest played the annoying song called The Song That Never Ends to encourage people to remember to bring their money for the fundraiser. Since the song is quite repetitious, everyone was more than willing to donate in order for the song to stop playing!

“We saw the idea on the news. Another school in Pennsylvania was playing “mmmBop” and we just ran with the idea. The staff and students were very generous,” stated Cristine Sanchez, seminar teacher.

Oakcrest had a wonderful turnout, raising $2,500. “The fundraiser helped us come together and help those less fortunate. Hopefully, we can do more activities like this in the future,” senior Sarah Mason said.
