Picture Retake Day is scheduled for November 16th. If your child was absent on Picture Day they are automatically on our Retake list. If you are unhappy with your child's portrait and would like to retake the photo, please email Brooke Filosa (brooke.filosa@gmail.com) to be placed on the list. Once you have a retake photo you will not be able to order the original photo.

OAS Box Tops
OAS is participating in Box Tops for Education, which means that you can earn cash with the products you already buy to help our school get the supplies it needs. We have already earned close to $100 this year, ten cents at a time. Every purchase matters.
Our goal is to earn $1000 through Box Tops this year!
Here’s how you can help:
1. Download the Box Tops app on your phone and follow instructions on how to set up an account and sign up to support our school.
2. Then, just shop as you normally would.
3. Use the app to snap a photo of your receipt within 14 days of purchase. It’ll automatically identify any Box Tops participating products and you’ll give back to our school with each product you buy.
If you shop online, you can earn with your digital or email receipt, too. See how to submit those receipts at the link below.
Please contact Amanda Cowell (amanda.cowell@gmail.com) with any questions or if you need assistance downloading the app, scanning receipts or linking your price plus card.
