Message from the PTO ~ Teacher Appreciation Week!
Hello OAES parents,
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6th-10th! Many of you contributed awesome treats and munchies during fall conferences and the teachers absolutely loved it! Let's show our appreciation again for the wonderful teachers and staff at OAES by providing a delicious luncheon!
We are looking for volunteers to provide homemade treats, soups, salads and other dishes on Thursday, May 9th. Please drop-off all items in the teacher's lounge by 10am (if you'd like to drop off earlier there will be a cooler for cold items). A few volunteers are also needed to help with set-up at 10 AM and clean-up at 2:20 PM.
If you would like to contribute an item and/or volunteer, you can easily sign-up by going to:
