Other Ways to Get Involved!
Here's are volunteer opportunities that we are looking to fill!
Indoor Beautification: We are looking for someone who can help us fill the halls and rooms of OAS with color and art!
Outdoor Beautification: The perfect position for the gardeners out there, or perhaps a scout troop or garden club! This chair would organize a team to help maintain the gardens and flower pots outside of the school.
Pickleball: Calling all pickleball enthusiasts! This chair would plan a fun adult event at the new community center.
Library Recess: Help arrange volunteers to supervise quiet activities in the library for students who sign up for this indoor program over the winter months. Library recess has been a favorite for years, let's keep it going!
If you are interested in helping out, please email our PTA VPs, Catherine Venditti and Lexi Kiriakatis. (cevenditti@gmail.com) (lexiwk102@gmail.com)
