WBEF Casino Night
The West Bloomfield Education Foundation's annual Casino Night Fundraiser is Friday, February 3rd at the Farmington Hills Manor from 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM. The WBEF is the fundraising arm of the district and all money raised goes directly back into classrooms. Last year the WBEF awarded over $23,000 in classroom grants to WBSD teachers, including teachers at OEC. Go to wbef.org for more information.
Graduation
For our 13th grade students, graduation money and order forms are due on Friday, February 10th and Graduation is Friday, June 2nd in the Smith Theater.
Second Semester Activity Fee
If you have not already done so, please make sure to get your second semester activity fee of $40 to Mrs. Kelly. Remember, our field trips and community time events are dependent on the activity fee and without them, we will not be able to go on our last field trip in the spring.

Please contact stacey.lamb@oakland.k12.mi.us with any questions.
College Update
The college Mid Winter Break is February 25 - March 5 and the OEC Spring Break is March 25th - April 2nd. If you are planning a trip, we recommend using the college break because college classes will be in session during the OEC Spring Break. It is easier to get caught up in high school classes rather than college classes.
Lunch Orders
Please click here to order lunch for February 6 - 10. Lunch orders must be submitted by Monday morning at 8:00 AM.
PIT Crew
There will not be a meeting in January for the PIT Crew, but it will resume on the second Tuesday in February, the 14th. A link will be provided closer to the meeting date. Here is the PowerPoint from the December meeting: Dec Powerpoint Have a great break!
