PTC Meeting: The PTC met on Wednesday night to discuss some upcoming events at our school. Two big events are the Online Auction starting the week after the Thanksgiving Break and the Holiday Bazaar on December 7th (see attached Flyer to this email). There will be a link to help support these events and we hope you will get involved and support the PTC (and our students) by volunteering in some manner. The minutes to the meeting are linked here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dHIk6Li7fPnfCdbH9Vsaq6CLG8QoP4lJwiWBr8iHtSQ/edit?usp=sharing
The Second Grade Team presented at the PTC meeting on Wednesday Night. They talked about the Service Learning Project they commit to each year to support student learning. Students at OTES have three opportunities (Grade K, 2, and 5) to participate in the Service Learning Project as part of their learning experience. The second-grade visits and supports Sarah's House two times a year. The outcomes of these visits are something that may be difficult to measure, but we know it touches our students, staff, and the residence of Sarah's House in many ways.
Fall Fundraiser: Thank you to Mrs. Vose for organizing the Fundraiser Event at OTES this fall. We have heard the fundraising items will be coming to our school by November 19th. We have arranged two evenings for PICK UP TIMES on:
