December Announcements...

November 20, 2010

Thank you to all who participated in this year’s auction! What a wonderful time and what a great fundraiser for our school! There are still some slots for the 80’s party, to be held January 29th at the Sommer's home. All proceeds benefit the Owen Marsh PTO. Click on the 'Forms' link to print out your ticket form and return to school in an envelope marked "80s Party.” It promises to be totally radical!!

As the holidays approach, the PTO Community Service Committee is organizing our holiday gift program. Every year we try to help several Owen Marsh families who are in need of extra assistance during the holidays. In addition to buying gifts for our students, this year we are also putting together “Brown Bag Packages” full of fresh milk, fruit, bread, etc. The Brown Bag Packages help when students are no longer eating breakfast and lunch at OME during the holiday break. We are collecting donations of $10.00 per child for the Brown Bag Packages. The PTO thought it was a better idea to collect monetary donations, rather than food products themselves, as to allow us to buy in bulk, ensure that families get fresher foods, and reduce duplicate food items.�

If you are interested in making a DIFFERENCE in the lives of our own Owen Marsh families this holiday season, please download the form from the OME PTO website and complete it and return to Amy Peterson, PTO by Monday, November 29th so families can be assigned. You will receive additional instructions and the information for your child/children the first week of December.
