PTO Needs You
Want to help? We need some good volunteers to help with events, committees and more throughout the year. Email OPESpto@gmail.com. Thank you!
Go GOLD for Pediatric Cancer
Each day, 43 families in the United States hear, "Your child has Cancer." On Friday, we ask that all students wear Gold or Yellow in support of those children fighting for their lives.
Want more ways to help? Three things you can send in on September 21:
- $1 (or more, if you wish)
- Character Band-Aids (For all of the injections they endure)
- Play Doh (They need a lot, because it can't be reused due to germs)
Boosterthon
This year’s main fundraiser is the Orchard Park Fun Run! It’s an 8-day program that kicks off with a Pep Rally on Wednesday, October 3rd. Families will then gather pledges for every lap your student runs (30-35 laps), and we’ll celebrate at the Fun Run on Friday, October 12th. With our big goal of raising $35,000 for “STEAM DREAMS”, we asked the Fun Run experts at Boosterthon to power our Fun Run and make it more profitable, easier, and fun.
