Give the Gift of Time to OPES Staff

As part of the administration's holiday festivities, they are hoping to give back some time to teachers during recess, lunchtime and car line duties. We are looking for parent volunteers to cover these areas on a couple of dates so that teachers can use this time to prepare in their classrooms during this busy time of year. If you can gift an hour (or less!) of your time to help out our amazing teachers, please sign up using the link below:

Holiday Shoppe

The PTO is excited to host a Holiday Shoppe on December 7th, 8th and 9th! Students will have an opportunity to do some shopping for gifts to give to family and friends. You send in the amount of money you want your child to spend, and we will help them purchase their gifts. You may send in cash or purchase gift certificates ahead of time at https://chairperson.kastlekreations.com/gift-certificates.

There is a wide variety of great gifts to choose from, and the gifts come home wrapped and ready to go! The shop will run in the morning before school from 7:00AM-7:30AM and on Thursday, December 8th at 6:00PM for a special shopping event. On this night we will have hot chocolate and cookies along with a craft for children to complete. The grade-specific shopping schedule is listed below, and we hope to see you all there!

Wednesday AM, Dec. 7th - 4th and 5th grades

Thursday AM, Dec. 8th - 2nd and 3rd grades
