Do You Have Spirit?
We are looking for someone to head up our Spirit Nights! This person would be in charge of choosing the location and date for our monthly / bimonthly spirit nights! We have a list of locations that have been great to work with in the past but this person is also welcome to find new places that want to partner with our school if they choose!
If you are looking for a way to support our school PTA, this may be a great volunteer role for you! Please email mandymacnaughton@gmail.com, our PTA President, if you are interested in learning more.
Rent the Rock
We still have a handful of dates left - including several around the holidays - so don't miss your chance to make your student feel really special while also making a donation to OCE! And don't forget to take a photo and tag us: #oceROCKstars
You can find the sign up form here.
Lunch Volunteers
We're excited to welcome families back into the cafeteria as lunch volunteers!
Whether you have 30 minutes or two hours, the OCE staff appreciates your support! In order to volunteer, you must be on the WCPSS approved volunteers list.
If you have not yet registered to be a WCPSS volunteer, you can do so in the OCE front office from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
