The mood was festive in the Wellness Center on Friday, January 24th, as approximately 200 guests gathered to celebrate OFMS turning 25! Party hats and noisemakers set the scene as Head of School, Candice Holbrook, kicked off the event with a few words of reflection. She then welcomed Phil Salsbery, Lorene’s husband, who shared heartfelt remarks about Lorene and OFMS reaching this milestone.
OFMS art students presented Tom Leedy, President of the Dekko Foundation, with a painting they had created as a token of appreciation for the foundation’s strong support of the school. Guests also viewed the Founder’s Video, which beautifully captured Lorene’s story and vision for OFMS.
To conclude the kickoff, Oakey, the girl from Oak Farm, led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday, followed by the traditional blowing out of the candles. Guests then enjoyed delicious birthday treats!
After the kickoff, Rod Collier, OFMS Architect, delivered a presentation on the history of the OFMS campus—its growth, design, and evolution over the years.
