The PTA Staff Appreciation Committee would like to shower our staff with snacks and goodies in the staff lounge weekly. They work hard, and having a little surprise can bring a lot of happiness to their day! Sign up here!

​

IDEAS: Please stick to individually wrapped items. Feel free to be creative!

• trail mix

• candy/gum

• small apples/oranges

• small packs of crackers, cookies, chips, popcorn, etc.

​

Please help spoil them by signing up for one (or more) weeks!

​

Please drop off items to the front office by Tuesday morning of each week. The fabulous ladies in the front office will get it to it's final destination!

The OCE First Mate program is an opportunity for dads, father figures, uncles, grandfathers, etc... to spend significant amounts of time in our school doing everything from reading in classrooms, to assisting at lunch, to interacting with students during recess. This program specifically targets a group that is statistically less likely to volunteer in schools.

We have full-day and half-day slots available. Interested? Register here!

All participants must be registered WCPSS volunteers.

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.

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.

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.

You can find the signup form here!
