Volunteers Still Needed
Oster Yearbook - HELP US CONTINUE THE TRADITION
Oster’s yearbook is produced by Home & School Club and we are looking for volunteers for next year. We know how much students enjoy getting their yearbooks at the end of the school year. We'd love to keep providing this wonderful keepsake for Oster students, but WE NEED YOUR HELP. Our yearbook lead is graduating this year, and there is no one set to take over. Being part of the yearbook team is a very fun way to get involved with the school.
