1st OPEF Wine Tasting Virtual Event
OPEF’S STONEHAUS FUNDRAISER
On Saturday, April 27, Oak Park Education Foundation held an end-of-year fundraiser at The Stonehaus in Westlake Village. There were over 85 guests at the sold out event. Many new OPUSD familes attended, along with OPEF board members, PTO presidents, and top donors. An overview presentation of OPEF was conducted by OPEF board member, Carmela Barbieri.
A special thank you to Carmela Barbieri and her husband Roberto Piolanti for sponsoring the Stonehaus and OPEF fundraiser. OPEF is looking forward to many more successful future events, to meet our goals for the students of Oak Park schools.
We are ecstatic to report that we met our goal of $10,000 in donations contributed by our fundraiser attendees! OPEF is inspired by their enthusiastic participation in our efforts to raise funds towards sustaining programs our children greatly benefit from within OPUSD, and we look forward to their long-lasting partnership with the foundation.
FIRST MIXER FOR SIMI VALLEY & MOORPARK DOC FAMILIES!
Did you know that 48% of the student population at OPUSD are students who live outside of the district in the surrounding areas of Oak Park? That’s almost half of the student population commuting Monday through Friday to attend the excellent, high-performing schools in the city of Oak Park. One thing we love about OPUSD is that it’s open to everyone who wants to attend – a District of Choice (DOC) school system. Without our DOC students, OPUSD schools wouldn’t be the distinctive, diverse, and exceptional institutions that they are today!
Because of that, Oak Park Education Foundation hosted our first mixer on March 16th for our Simi Valley & Moorpark DOC families to show our appreciation for their dedication to education. It was a lively afternoon filled with conversation for the adults and fun St. Patrick’s Day activities for the kids!

DISTINGUISHED DONORS APPRECIATION EVENT!
Did you know that 85% of our total funds raised so far were gifted by our generous donors who have given or committed to giving $1,000+ for the 2018-2019 school year?
On Saturday, February 2, 2019 the OPEF board hosted our inaugural Distinguished Donors Appreciation event to thank and celebrate the families, education professionals, and community members who have given largely to fund our children’s futures! Those in attendance included our OPUSD board members, our school principals, Superintendent Dr. Tony Knight, and several of our distinguished donors – all of whom we extend our sincerest gratitude for joining us to celebrate their significant and impactful contributions.
