Oakhill could not function without parent involvement. From volunteering with PTO to showing up for birthdays, from guest speaking to Panther Parties, parents contribute to making Oakhill a vibrant, vital place. We could list hundreds of examples (literally), but here are just a few from the first quarter! Parents are welcome any day, any time, and we hope you'll read this and plan a time to come visit!
