THINGS TO KNOW
Friday is Purple Day!
Please take pics with coworkers, kids, families, etc and post them using the hashtag #WeArePurple and text and/or email them to me! Feel free to send me any other "purple pics" you get throughout the week!
Thank you for your support! The goal for the committee is a whopping $28,500! That would get us to $100,000 in total giving in the 5 purple events at OPS!
HIGHLIGHTS ACROSS OPS

OMS Starts Parent University
These are not structured to be meetings with handouts, but rather impactful gatherings to help . parents navigate the struggles of parenting adolescents. Please spread the word. It'll be Thursday, September 27, at 6:30pm in the OMS Media Center. While the topics primarily focus on issues facing middle schoolers, any parent is welcome!
Click here for the flyer detailing this week's session and future sessions.
In addition to Parent Univ., OMS is taking part in the national #startwithhello effort with Be Nice members greeting students in the morning, showing the movie Wonder and having students fill out their hopes for this school year.
