As a Teacher Appreciation Committee member, your hard work and creativity show why Oakdale is a special place to grow. Your generous gifts make a lasting impact, filling a huge space in teachers' hearts and making them feel valued. For this, you are an Oakdale Shining Star!

A "daymaker" is a person who performs acts of kindness with the intention of making the world a better place. This is a great way to describe Brooke Jones and her role as our Oakdale Cares coordinator. Oakdale Cares strives to help students and families in need through generous donations from our Oakdale community. She doesn't seek recognition, prefers to be as discreet as possible, but never fails to appear being the daymaker to so many. We thank Brooke Jones for her servant's heart and for being our daymaker.
