Rolling Into the End of the Year

The PTO is so excited about everything we’re doing this spring! You’ll hear more in the coming weeks about Staff Appreciation Week, Carnival and Field Day, but you might not hear about some of the other things we’re doing. Our 2025-2026 budget included roller skate rental for the recent physical education unit, funding for coach buses for the upcoming fourth grade field trip to the Capitol, and an amount for the fifth grade celebration. These are just some examples of the impact you’re making when you join the PTO, donate to your student for the Fun Run, or bid on a silent auction item!

If you’d like to learn more about the PTO, please email olspto@gmail.com and/or join us for our meeting in May!
