Spring Fundraiser is here! Last Day to Order, Feb. 17th
The PTA kicked off its Spring Fundraiser this month on February 3rd with a catalog sale featuring Spring flowers and Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough. All orders are due on Feb. 17th. You can order items online at https://shop.clubschoicefundraising.com/?schoolcode=Oyst22.
Also, please only sell to family and friends that you know. Do NOT go door to door asking strangers to support you.
What is the fundraiser for exactly?
- In-house educational programs for all students such as the Big Canyon Balloon
- Field Trips for all students
- Family friendly events such as movie night and craft night
- Items for classrooms and teachers
- Blue Jay Festival
These are just some of the wonderful things we provide to help make OCE great. With your support through our fundraisers, we can continue to help make OCE the best school!
In the past, we have purchased the Rock Wall in the gym, Smart Boards for classrooms, and small, dry erase boards for the kindergarten classrooms.
