Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. 2D Art & Design students participated in this challenge, creating an ink drawing each day for the month of October. Oakcrest would like a feature a sampling of Inktober drawings from 12th grade student Dominic Phillips.
On October 18, Oakcrest students and staff collaborated to raise awareness for breast cancer by wearing pink and coming together for a photo on the football field. The event, organized by PE teacher Alycia Molinelli, also gave staff the opportunity to donate to the METAvivor foundation, which specializes in cancer research.
The students of Ms. Bock's 2-D Art & Design created unique covers for their sketchbooks. Here is a small sample (clockwise from top left):
Ethan Bosack (grade 12)
Montana Ali (grade 12)
Alex Crespo (grade 10)
Ambrielle Perkins (grade 10)
Jacob Battle (grade 12)

Good afternoon Oakcrest Community,
We want to inform you that the Oakcrest at Pleasantville football game scheduled for this evening has been rescheduled to a 1PM kickoff on Saturday, October 12 at Pleasantville.
We've heard rumors circulating this afternoon regarding conflicts and threats at the game, and this move is being made out of an abundance of caution. Please rest assured that these stories are unsubstantiated. Your safety is our top priority, and we encourage everyone to stay calm and informed. To that point, we would like to share that Oakcrest and Pleasantville administration communicated and came to this decision jointly. Both districts believe holding the game on Saturday will provide a greater sense of safety and security for the student athletes and their families.
Thank you for your understanding and support. Let’s come together to enjoy the game this weekend! 🏈💙
Oakcrest's Cross Country season is drawing to a close, but the team had a productive few months of training and competing! Most notably, the group traveled in mid-September to DREAM Park to compete in the South Jersey Shootout, where OHS freshman Carter Pate medaled in the 5k, placing 16th with a time of 19:51.68. Congrats to Carter, Coach Jaclyn Tantum, and the rest of the team! 🏅🏃♂️💙
