Art Show
Does your child love to draw, paint, and create beautiful things in general? Please consider having them submit the work they have done outside of school to the OQMS student art show and fundraiser. It will be held on Dec. 4th and will be at the Lemont High School this year. We are excited that the high school invited our students to show their work their.
All OQMS students are welcome to submit their work provided it is ORIGINAL and in good condition. Miss Dorrance will be holding workshops on certain Friday's during advisory. These are held to help students mount, trim or finish their work to have it ready to hang in the show.
All work must be submitted with the permission slip and entry fee to Miss Dorrance by November 14. This will allow time to make labels and get work to the high school to hang.
Please contact Miss Dorrance with any questions at jdorrance@sd113a.org or 630-257-2286 x4259

PTO Fundraiser
Did you know that not ALL OQMS students can afford to attend the wonderful field trips that our students take in each grade level? Our PTO does an amazing job by sponsoring scholarships to ensure that ALL students are able to attend Whitepines, Springfield and other smaller trips. They raise these funds by fundraisers like mums and the Little Caesars. Please help them save money for scholarships by supporting the Little Caesars Pizza Kits. Thank you
