Excess Funds Suggestions?
At this time of year, the PTA collects suggestions from the parent, teacher and school administration on how to spend our potential excess funds. Although we try and budget accordingly, there may be a chance our PTA fundraisers are more successful than we anticipate and we have extra money to spend. Since the PTA is a non profit organization we must close our fiscal year with a zero balance.
Click Here to submit your suggestions through our online form. Please have your requests submitted by
April 24th.
If available, please provide documentation of the exact amount your suggestion would cost and where we can purchase it. An Excess Funds committee led by the PTA treasurer will evaluate the suggestions and vote on which ones to move forward with. This will be reported and voted on at the last PTA meeting on
May 11th. Thank you for your support!
Character Counts March Fundraiser Results
On Monday, March 13th, Garibaldi’s Pizza & Olive-Mary Stitt joined together in a Character Counts fundraiser benefiting PENCILS OF PROMISE. This non-profit organization that believes every child should have access to quality education. PENCILS OF PROMISE create schools, programs and global communities around the common goal of education for all. Many thanks to all of the OMS families and teachers that took the time to support this worthy cause. Together we raised two hundred dollars, which will help educate eight students for a year. What a fantastic way to be global thinkers with big caring hearts! Thanks to our Character Counts Co-Chairs, Christine Gilbert and Rachael Hooker, for organizing this event.
Thank You Corner
At Olive-Mary Stitt we have many PTA sponsored programs and clubs, and we couldn't do any of it without our amazing volunteers! We would like to send out personal thank you's to some of the people who made our most recent activities a success.
Chess Club wrapped up another successful year at Olive last week. The club's mission is to promote chess and make it accessible to the student body by encouraging newcomers unfamiliar with the game as well as welcoming back our seasoned chess players. Many thanks to Jennifer Faley and Stephanie Jennrich for Co-Chairing this committee. We look forward to having you both back next year to lead our aspiring chess players.
