Postcards Needed
Do you know friends and family living abroad? We are looking for postcards from different places outside the US as part of our upcoming One School, One Book. You can have friends and family send postcards addressed to OPES students. Please include in the postcard how the person is connected to our school. For example, "cousin of student name." We hope to display them around the building and read some on the morning announcements. Please send postcards to Orchard Park Elementary School, 474 Third Baxter Street, Fort Mill, SC 29708 USA. All postcards should be received by March 1, 2023.

Thank you Parents
We owe a huge Thank You to all of the volunteers who planned, decorated, and helped with the Winter Dance! We truly could not have done it without all of your support. It was a great success and we are already looking forward to next year!
Adopt an OPES Staff Member for Valentine’s Day
This February, the Hospitality Committee requests your help with our Valentine's Day themed luncheon on February 24th! We are giving parents the opportunity to Adopt a Teacher or Staff Member. The cost is $12 which covers their boxed lunch from Tega Cay Deli (meal and a drink), a flower, and the opportunity to leave your adopted staff member a special note to be included with their lunch.
If your child would like to create a picture for their teacher/staff member of choice they are welcome to leave it at 4182 Birkshire Hts (on the porch in the blue bin) by Feb 22nd, or bring it the day of the luncheon. We truly appreciate all the parents helping us make this a very special and personal treat.
Thank you for helping us shower our teachers and staff with love! Click on the following link and then login to your PTO website account to Adopt a OPES staff member: https://orchardparkpto.membershiptoolkit.com/store/10448
