Strong Showing at Oak Tree Run by SFS
L
ast November, SFS had 212 participants for the Oak Tree Run, an event by the Oak Tree Project that raises money to provide college scholarships and a mentoring program for Korean orphans transitioning into adult life. SFS parents in charge of this outreach opportunity worked hard to engage the SFS community, and thanks to their efforts close to 25% of the overall participants for the race were from SFS! Julie Won, a proud SFS parent who helped organize the school’s participation, said that the event was “a great way to support the local community, be healthy, and a fun way for

family and faculty to do something together in a less formal environment.” She also added, “the event was made even more meaningful because we were able to achieve our goal of SFS raising enough money to fund one college scholarship!” Following the Oak Tree Run, Seoul Foreign School leadership and parents met with John-Michael Becker, founder of the Oak Tree Project and Jerusalem Ministry, to discuss support of future events and initiatives, such as their annual soccer camps for boys from children’s homes.
