Halloween Parties
It's that time of year to start getting ready for the OMS Halloween Classroom Parties!The room reps are hard at work planning a great party for the kids that provide a sweet treat and healthy snack! We would like to remind you to think before you buy Halloween candy and trinkets. Is it nut free, store bought, allergy and classroom approved?If you have yet to volunteer at school, please stop in the office to fill out a volunteer form. Once again, we will have a Halloween volunteer list that the office will use to print out the badges. If you are not on the office list, you will not be able to enter the building and classroom party.Look for the sign up genius link your room reps will be emailing to make your classroom party a success! You can also find your classroom sign up genius link on the Olive PTA website under the Volunteer Sign-Up tab. Have a SPOOKtacular Party!!!
