Oak Ridge Family Focus
February 24th Edition
Family Read Night Success
Thank you to everyone who came out for Family Read Night last Thursday. It was a HUGE success! Students read stories and listened to music from their favorite teachers. They bought books to add to their collection from the PTA Book Fair. They even witnessed a couple of magicians pull off the magic of reading too! Events like these prove how big of an impact the school community can have for our children. Our students learned so much and had such a great time because of all of the support from our parents, teachers, and community members. Thank you for being a part of our Oak Ridge family. Please know how much we appreciate your support and are truly grateful to have each one of you.
Have a Heart Collection - LAST CALL!
The Student Council is teaming up with the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. The foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing comfort to children and teens undergoing procedures to treat cancer. Student Council is asking for $5 gift cards, or cash donations that can be used to buy gift cards, that will be given to these children in need. Please bring any gift cards or cash donations to Oak Ridge School and give to Student Council Sponsors Mrs. Dembek or Mrs. Barker no later than Thursday, February 28th. Please read the flyer for more information. As always, thank you. We know that with your help we can make a difference in the lives of these families going through a difficult time.
