Meet and Greet/PTA Fair
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Meet and Greet and the PTA Fair, it was a great success! A special thanks to Rachael Hooker and all of the Meet and Greet volunteers. Thank you also to the Committee chairs and clubs that hosted tables, it was a fun way to learn about all that Olive has to offer.
Spirit Wear Sale
Olive PTA Spirit Wear Sale begins today and runs through September 18th. There are a lot of items to choose from! Be sure to visit our online store. Orders will be taken online only and your items will be delivered to your child's classroom early-mid October. Samples will be on display in the OMS Commons and also at Curriculum Night (September 2nd). Please click here for our product descriptions. For more information, please contact Sarah Klancnikor Jolinta Voelker.
Character Counts Corner
We kicked off a full year of Character Counts initiatives by including an optional donation to nokidhungry.org at the Ice Cream Social. We are pleased to announce that we raised money to provide 1,700 meals to the 1 in 5 U.S. children who do not receive adequate food. This month we chose kindness! Each month we target one of the pillars of good character: kind, responsible, respectful, trustworthy, fair, caring and a good citizen. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting pilot program at OMS!
Bike Rodeo
Attention 3rd, 4th, and 5th Graders! The Bike Rodeo, being held on September 8th after school, consists of a short bike safety presentation from the A. H. police department followed by skill stations located in the loading zone. Participation is a requirement for all 3rd graders (and 4th and 5th graders who have not participated in the past) to be allowed to ride their bike to school without adult supervision. The Bike Rodeo permission slip and Helmet Fitting Guide can be accessed through this link. The permission slip is due by September 4 in the children's classrooms. Please ensure that your child's helmet is properly fitted prior to the Bike Rodeo.
Curriculum Night
Save the Date!! Olive's Curriculum night is September 2nd from 6:30-8:30. This is a parent only event, please make other arrangements for your children. This event allows our teachers the opportunity to share with parents what your children will be learning this year and their strategies for accomplishing that goal. Please plan on attending.
Drop off and Pick up
As you have already seen, drop off and pick up is a little different this year due to our construction. Please refer to this map and procedure guide for explanations on how things work this year.
Parent Patrol
We need your help to keep things running smoothly at Drop Off. Please consider volunteering for Parent Patrol from 8:40-9:05 two times a month. We provide you with an orange vest, you provide the smile! Here is the link to sign up.
