Oaks’ star-studded night heralds new school

You know you’re in Westlake Village when a school gala feels more like a Grammy after-party. According to *The Acorn* (Westlake Village), Oaks Christian School pulled out all the stops for its 26th anniversary fundraiser at the Four Seasons—complete with a performance by music icon David Foster and his wife, singer Katharine McPhee. But here’s what really caught my eye: this wasn’t just a night of sequins and show tunes. The real headline is what that star power is funding—a brand-new school building that will serve our growing community of families for years to come.

For those of us who drive past the campus daily, it’s easy to forget how much Oaks Christian has woven itself into the fabric of our town. This gala wasn’t just about celebrating past success; it was about planting seeds for the next generation of Conejo Valley students. As neighbors, we know that strong local schools—whether public or private—lift everyone’s property values and community spirit. So while the glitter may fade, the impact of that evening will be felt in every classroom built, every teacher hired, and every student who walks through those new doors.
