Congratulations to the cast of the "A Wrinkle in Time"
OAS Middle School students put on three fabulous productions this weekend! Bravo!
8th Grade Class Sweatshirt
In lieu of an end of year gift, the 8th Grade Committee will be gifting our 8th graders a sweatshirt to enjoy all year long. There is no charge for this sweatshirt but please fill out this form so we know what size to order your child. The manufacturer suggests they should size up from what they normally would get. Please respond by Monday, October 30th. If the form is not filled out the student will not receive a sweatshirt as we will be ordering exact quantities.
Join Us for the Adult Social - November 30th at Yestercades!
Volunteers Needed!
Elementary Game Night (grades 3-5): The chair(s) of this event will organize a fun night of Bingo and other games for our elementary students! This event happens in January so we would love to secure a chair soon. Grab a friend or two, or volunteer to help and meet new friends. Kids and BINGO - what could be better?
Elementary After School Social: We are looking for two people to chair socials for the 3rd and 5th grades. These events will be held separately and will involve games, activities, and snacks for the kids!
6th Grade Social: The chair(s) of this event will organize an evening at OAS for our 6th graders!
February Staff Breakfast: We are looking for someone to organize a breakfast for our teachers and staff as a sweet treat in February!
