The Annual Fund supports the program beyond the limits of tuition revenue and allows us to provide our students with authentic exposure to artistic problem solving and intellectual inquiry. Program elements such as the Visiting Artists residency, studio and museum visits, and a nutritious, organic meal plan, help to grow each student's awareness of the possibilities in their lives.

Finally!!
I am so pleased to actually be sending you this first edition of Oxtales,
the Oxbow School email newsletter. Many alumni stay in contact with
us here in Napa in various ways, and we wanted to provide a means
for those farther away to stay connected and let us know where theyare
and what they are doing. As the school moves forward, I welcome the
opportunity for more alumni to play an active role in Oxbow’s
future. In this, the ninth year with students, many aspects of the
program are maturing—most importantly our alumni. We have come
full circle in a sense, as our first Oxbow students are now graduating
from college, and last year, we were able to make our first alumni
hires. Lenora Ditzler, OS1, spent last year as an intern assisting
the faculty, and Jordan Felling, OS5, continues in her role as Admissions
Liaison. The alumni legacy continues this year with Case Conover,
OS4, working as the intern for the current semester, OS17.

Case
Conover, OS 4, has joined the Oxbow Community as our Intern
this year. After coming to Oxbow as a junior, Case graduated from
high school in Maine. He then attended Oberlin College in Ohio, majoring
in studio art. In 2006, Case took some time off from Oberlin to undertake
an adventure – he hiked the entirety of the Appalachian Trail
on his own.
