Open High PTSA Update
January 2023
Happy New Year, Open Hive!
I hope everyone is starting 2023 with a renewed sense of hope and optimism. It's hard to believe the school year is almost half-way over! The PTSA is extremely grateful to everyone who has contributed money, time, baked goods, gift cards, and purchased items from the Amazon list. Y'all are amazing!!
We've been able to accomplish a great deal including funding field trips (buses are wildly expensive!), teacher appreciation lunches and gifts, a killer Fall Festival, and more. Life around the hive will continue to get busier as we move towards the end of the year.
What's coming up? A lot!
- February fundraising with Cherrydale - Popcorn and other treats!
- OHS At 50 Celebration, April 15
- Teacher Appreciation Week, May 1 - 5
- Prom, May 13
- Art Show & Auction, May 25
- Spring picnic, TBD
- PTSA Scholarship announcements
- And more!
How can you help?
- Donate via MemberHub or check made out to "Open High School PTSA". The PTSA needs to raise $5,000 to accomplish our ‘22/‘23 school year goal!
- Participate in Cherrydale Fundraising - More details soon
- Join a committee - Keep an eye out for sign-ups
- Purchase items off the Amazon Teacher Wish List (coming soon!)
Lastly, please please please join the PTA Zoom meetings on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm. We need folks who are willing to pitch in ideas, expertise, and time. It's a great group of people, and we actually have fun. I promise! Look out for the Zoom link in Clary's newsletter and shoot me an email if you have any questions.
Thank you all for everything you do to make OHS the best experience for our students, teachers, and staff!!
With gratitude,
Karen Kelly
