Rooted & Rising Annual Fund

For ten years, Seven Oaks families have stepped up time and again, helping fund playgrounds, sound systems, and so much more, each project shaping the vibrant community we enjoy today. As we celebrate this milestone year, we invite you to help us take the next step: building a lasting culture of generosity that strengthens every part of our school. The Rooted & Rising Annual Fund is our new tradition of giving, one that nourishes every classroom, supports every teacher, and enriches every student experience. This Giving Tuesday, we ask you to join us in honoring what Seven Oaks has meant to your family by giving, sharing, and helping us spread the word. Together, we can ensure Seven Oaks continues to grow, rooted in our mission and rising toward the next decade with strength and purpose.

Peer 2 Peer Champions

This year, we’re also introducing a special way for parents to get involved as Peer-to-Peer Champions—families who believe deeply in our mission and are willing to help us share it. Champions help spread the word about our Giving Tuesday initiative through social media and word of mouth, using ready-to-post messages, images, and a simple timeline we provide. It’s an easy yet powerful way to multiply your impact and invite others to be part of the Seven Oaks story. Below, you will find resources to help you craft your social media messages to help us spread the word!

    Ten years ago, a few families dreamed of a school that would train both mind and heart.

    Today, that dream is Seven Oaks. A place where our children are known, loved, and challenged to live well.

    As we celebrate a decade of growth, we’re launching something new: the Rooted & Rising Annual Fund.

    It keeps our teachers inspired, our classrooms thriving, and our future bright.

    Because this school isn’t just where our kids learn, it’s where they become who they’re meant to be. Please consider joining us in our mission on Giving Tuesday, December 2. https://www.sevenoaksclassical.org/donate

    (Write your own personal testimony, see example below)

    I still remember the first time I saw my child light up in a Seven Oaks classroom.
    It wasn’t just learning — it was wonder.

    This is why I give.
    To thank the teachers who shape our children’s character.
    To protect the place that feels like home.

    As Giving Tuesday approaches, will you join me in giving to the Rooted & Rising Annual Fund so this light keeps shining for every child who walks these halls? https://www.sevenoaksclassical.org/donate

  • Post #3 Giving Tuesday Dec. 2

    Today’s the day we show what community really means.

    It’s Giving Tuesday, and I’m giving to the Rooted & Rising Annual Fund — because I believe in Seven Oaks.

    Every gift counts, whether $5 or $5,000. Every dollar fuels teachers who inspire, classrooms that hum with curiosity, and a future where every student is known and valued.

    Let’s rise together for the next ten years.
    Give now, and be part of something truly lasting.
