Education Fund - THANK YOU!
As we close out 2022, we are thrilled to share that Oster Community has come together and met the fall Education Fund drive goal of $100,000!!!
Thank you to everyone who has donated and, for those who have yet to participate, we are still accepting donations! The more we raise, the more enrichment programs and activities HSC can fund for OUR STUDENTS. And, don’t forget to ask if your company offers an employer-match program, as employer matching adds significantly to our funding.
PIZZA PARTY WINNERS: During the Education Fund drive, we held a friendly contest between classes to see who could raise the most money and we are excited to announce the 3 winning classes:
McGowan
Hudson
Pesavento
Congratulations and THANK YOU!!!
