What’s 22 to 22?  April 22-May 22….Our next fundraiser, that is!  Each year our school chooses  non-profit organizations that will help improve the livelihoods of many humans around the world and in our community. This year, with your help, we have raised thousands of dollars towards many great causes.  Starting yesterday, Oakman Elementary is collecting money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).  This effort is to raise money to help in researching cures for this disease.  Below are links to help explain this organization.
