THANK YOU Owl families for another outstanding raffle and Boo Bash! Despite many challenges along the way, we had a very successful and FUN event on Friday. We are grateful to everyone who helped to make it a safe night for all involved and special thanks to everyone who volunteered - we could not do it without you!
As we revealed at the Boo Bash, we hit an all-time high with our fundraising, which is simply amazing! That money will be put to good use directly affecting all students at Oakley Park throughout the year. We also had 82% of the student body participate in selling raffle tickets, so thank you again for the support at home!
The PTA fundraising is done for the year, but there is still a lot going on at the school! Join us for our first in-person PTA meeting in almost 2 years this Monday, NOVEMBER 1 at 7:00 in the OPE Media Center. We will also attempt to zoom the meeting for those unable to attend in person. More info will be sent out via email on Monday, or you can check it out at OakleyParkPTA.com/meetings
We will have some quick PTA business and hear from Mrs. Froning on a new approach to support the social/emotional need of our school community called RULER.
