LAST WEEK For Kids Corps Club Hurricane Relief Coin Drive
It's the last week to send in coins for the OCE Kids Corps Club Coin Drive to support Pine Valley Elementary School in Wilmington affected by Hurricane Florence.
The #letthecoinsflo coin drive ends November 1st.
Send in your coins and help a school in need!
Crayola Color Cycle Program
Don't forget to drop off your used markers, highlighters, and dry erase markers in the ColorCycle donation drop boxes at school before November 30th.
The Crayola ColorCycle program repurposes used markers rather than sending them to landfills.
Students and teachers all around OCE will be collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. Please help support our efforts by sending in any used markers you may have around the house -- even non-Crayola brands! Highlighters and dry erase markers can also be included.
LEGO Club
LEGO club is a staff led BEFORE-school club for K, 1st and 2nd grade students only.
LEGO Club focuses on inspiring children to think creatively, reason systematically, and use their imagination to play. LEGO Club will take place on Wednesday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. in the library starting January 2nd. Students must be dropped off promptly at 8:00 a.m.
PLEASE REGISTER EACH CHILD INDIVIDUALLY. If you are interested, please fill out this registration form. There will be a $5 registration fee. You can send the fee into your child's teacher with your child's name on it. Make checks payable to OCE PTA or use this link for online payment.
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE NOV. 9TH.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Brittany Cabaleiro (2nd grade Track 1) at bcabaleiro@wcpss.net.
