Oakcrest's Art and Culinary Clubs recently teamed up to visit Philadelphia's Magic Gardens. After admiring the space's amazing mosaics, they made a pit stop at Philly's famed Reading Terminal Market, where they sampled foods from all over the world. 😋🚌🎨
Shout out to Oakcrest Junior Zoe Corea Gonzalez, who in late April was one of four award winners of the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office's Law Day Art Contest. Zoe received a ribbon and cash prize for her work, which is attached here! 🎨🏅💙
Lots of nominations for all 3 GEH schools today at the SNJ Cappies Awards Gala!

Sending a HUGE shout-out to Oakcrest Seniors Abagale Ranger and Yahsir McNeal, who are each 1 of 5 finalists for Atlantic County's prestigious Old Grad Award! Yahsir is a 4-year member of the OHS Cross Country and Swim teams, and Abagale is a 4-year, 3-season athlete (Field Hockey, Swim, and LAX). OHS, who is so proud of these two accomplished members of Falcon Nation, was one of only two schools to have both a male AND female nominee! 👏💙👏💙
Shout-out to the Oakcrest Dance Program (and OHS Dance teacher extraordinaire Rachel Gaskill) for throwing an AMAZING spring concert last month! The students again brought down the house with their showmanship and talent! 👏👏👏

Do you recognize this Oakcrest Class of 2009 graduate? It's OHS guidance counselor, Educational Support Professional of the Year, and soon-to-be guidance supervisor Ashley Perone (née Benton)!
After her departure from the Nest, Ashley attended Stockton University, where she studied Psychology and Digital Literacy. After her graduation from Stockton in 2013, Ms. Perone earned her Masters in Education in School Counseling from Wilmington University in 2016. Ashley, who lives in Hammonton with her husband Dave and 3 children, has been an invaluable member of the counseling staff at OHS...and is sure to do an amazing job when she assumes her new role this summer!
Oakcrest is lucky to have such a dedicated alumna on staff! Shout out to Ms. Perone, who bleeds blue and gray! 💙💙💙

🦋 On Friday, April 17, Oakcrest and Absegami met on the OHS turf. The intra-district match-up was a Morgan's Message Dedication Game, at which both Falcons and Braves pledged to shine a light on the unseen battles athletes face. The Morgan's Message organization was founded in 2019 after the tragic death of Morgan Rodgers, a Duke University student athlete who struggled with her mental health. Morgan's family and former teammates now work to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health. Before the game, the Lady Falcons and Braves promised to check in on their teammates and to reach out when in need of help and support themselves.
🏆 On 4/28, Junior Madison Carland broke the single game scoring record, netting 10 goals! Also, Sophomore Bridget Guerrier has scored her 100th goal!
🥍 With an 11-3 record, this the Falcons' best season since 2014. They take on Middle Township today. A win could mean they're co-champions of their division, so come out to the turf and show them some love!

Members of the Oakcrest Knitting Club, advised by Ms. Chiappini, recently journeyed to Philadelphia for a trip to the famed Reading Terminal Market. The group then checked out Otherworld, an immersive experience that allows visitors to explore countless rooms of large-scale interactive art, mixed reality playgrounds, and secret passageways. All in attendance had a blast enjoying new and different cuisines...and then visiting what felt like another planet! 🪐😎🚀
