Oak Hill Academy in Lincroft Supports the Red Bank CROP Walk

On October 19 at 1:30pm at Red Bank Regional High School on Ridge Road in Little Silver, NJ, the Oak Hill Academy Student Council and their families and friends will come out to support the Red Bank CROP Walk. This is the 34th year of the Red Bank CROP Walk.

CROP (Communities Responding to Overcome Poverty) was created by Church World Services in an effort to end hunger throughout the world. The Red Bank CROP Hunger Walk is a 5-mile Walk / Run to help raise funds to fight hunger in Monmouth County as well as around the world. It is a cause that the Oak Hill Academy community has been supporting for the past 26 years.

The Oak Hill Academy Student Council Executive Board and Project Coordinators led by their Student Council Advisors, Mrs. Linda Vacca and Mr. Matt Goldfarb, have been working in conjunction with Janie Schlidge, the CROP walk coordinator, to get the word out. On Wednesday, October 8, Mrs. Vacca’s group put on a school wide assembly to promote the event and get the OHA community excited to help this great cause. Oak Hill Student Council President, Kaila Domanski (Colts Neck), and Project Coordinator, Zach Basile (Middletown) were the anchors of the CWN (Church World Network) and hosted an informational “show” about how the Church World Service through the C.R.O.P. Walk help people all over the world. Other student council members made posters and acted as field correspondents. Seventh grader, Aron Wiener performed on piano to an accompanying Power Point presentation. Mrs. Schlidge and Oak Hill Alum, Mr. Bill Gleason (’02) spoke about the walk and thanked the Oak Hill Student Council and students for their support.

Those that are unable to join Oak Hill Academy and the Red Bank CROP walk, were still able to help join the fight against hunger by sponsoring a walker or donating Rice; Beans or Peanut Butter. ~ For more information: http://www.redbankcropwalk.com/
