We are looking for a few people to help co-chair Teacher Appreciation Week! You do not need to be present the week of, there is lots to do behind the scenes. Help make this week special for our teachers and staff!
Outdoor Beautification:
Any Boy Scout or Girl Scout troops interested in a light cleanup of the outdoor spaces of OAS? If so, please consider volunteering to spruce up the garden spaces at the front of the school!

In preparation for next year we are looking for two volunteers to co-chair the 5K! This is a great event that is open to all community members and is one of the key fundraisers for the PTA, which will in turn fund clubs and other after school events for all students during the school year.
