Help OMS Parents Stay Informed on District Happenings
The OMS PTA used to have a SD25 School Board Rep, someone who would go to each of the SD25 School Board Meetings and then report back to the PTA. We've been unable to fill that position and we are trying something new this year by allowing anyone to sign up to attend a single School Board Meeting and report back to the PTA with an email summary of what was discussed. Please consider signing up for a meeting. This is an easy, low-commitment way to volunteer and help our school's community stay informed.
Sign up via Sign Up Genius here.

Continue to follow the Olive Branch and Twig for more details.
