Principal Taormina's Update
We had an incredibly successful Scholastic Book Fair this week. Thank you to everyone who came to support our school. I want to extend a huge thank you to Samantha Roche and her team of volunteers who worked each day tirelessly to make this event so successful.
Our in-person fair has been wrapped up, but you still have the opportunity to shop online at Scholastic and support Oster! The online book fair will be open until Thursday, March 31. You can use any leftover eWallet funds here while supporting Oster and our library. Our Scholastic homepage can be found here:
Milage Club
Parents, we need your help! The mileage club is back and will be happening during lunch recess beginning the week of April 11th. We are looking for parent volunteers to help keep track of the student's laps. If you are able to volunteer one or more days during the week from 12:00-12:50 please sign up here.
Students will be running/walking the perimeter of our field. Every time they complete 1 mile they will receive a foot charm that they can collect and add to their keychain which will be provided to them. The foot charms they earn will be given out on Fridays after school, room 9.
- 1st and 2nd graders will participate on Tuesdays and Thursdays
- 3rd through 5th will participate on Mondays and Wednesdays
If you would like your child to participate, you will need to fill out the attached form and return it to the office or Mrs. Ullmark in Room 9.
