This event is specifically intended for our grandparents and their OCS grandchildren only.

Additional Information
If grandparents have grandchildren in middle school (which includes grade 4 and Academy V) and high school, they can decide which schedule to follow regarding lunch shifts and classroom visits. The grandchildren will be together with the grandparents for the program at Calvary Community Church. They can choose which lunch shift and classroom schedule to go with (middle school or high school). The schedule is included below. Please go over the schedule with the grandparents and grandchildren to plan ahead. Grandparents will save seats in Calvary Community Church Celebration Center and the grandchildren will meet them. PLEASE coordinate with each other ahead of time about a meeting spot i.e.: left side, right side, middle, front, back etc. Feel free to text and coordinate location. After the performances, we have alternating shifts of lunch and classroom visits.
We have several students who do not have grandparents attending on grandparent’s day. For those students, they will attend the assembly in Calvary and then continue their day as usual for their regular school day and lunch.
Convenient parking is available in the Calvary Community Church parking lot, where volunteers will direct traffic and assist guests. We have plenty of handicap parking. If needed, we will have golf cart transportation available. If there are any specific needs or additional requests or accommodations, please email Monika Evans at mevans@oakschristian.org or call 818.575.9278.
The pre-event Estate Planning Seminar is optional. It is scheduled at 9:15am before the program begins. Enjoy complimentary pastries and beverages when you join us at this presentation on how to make the most of your wealth in supporting the institutions that matter to you. Sherwood Financial Partners, founded by Oaks Christian alumnus Matthew Davis, Class of 2005, will share efficient and effective strategies for making the most of your charitable goals. We hope to see you there!
