Students at Oakcrest High School have been sponsoring a Pay It To Say It writing project. Interested students can purchase 3 different size cards (quote space) in order to display their famous or inspirational quotes. The quotes are then featured in a display case in the 100 wing of the building for all to enjoy.

The project was started in order to “instill in those who participate a chance to write or read inspirationally,” explained Richard Howey, special education teacher who coordinated the project. “Proceeds from the project go toward the Corey Brooks Scholarship Fund.”

Howey believes the quotes can guide students’ lives. “I want to provide our motto for the project,” said Howey. “If you give it, then live it. If you give us a saying, then you must believe in its meaning.”

Students involved in the ongoing project are excited about the project’s success. “Pay It To Say It is an excellent opportunity for us to be recognized for doing something positive for our school,” said Mariah Anderson. Other students involved are William Howard, Philip Anderson, and Chris Ramos.
