Multi-Cultural Night Took Flight! ✈️
What a fantastic night with amazing participation and attendance from our Ogle Ohana! On January 31st we had flights start at 6 pm to depart our Ogle Cafeteria and fly around the World exploring multiple destinations, such as Nigeria, India, Sweden, Canada, and many, many other locations! Our families had beautiful displays set up representing and celebrating their culture. What a wonderful experience for everyone to come together and enjoy learning more about our fantastic community here at Ogle Elementary! We are already looking at scheduling another multi-cultural night next year! Thank you Skyler Hollis for planning and organizing this event (you can learn more about Skyler in our Volunteer of the Month section below!)
Volunteer of the Month
Our PTA appreciates every volunteer who assists our community, and as a small thank you we will be announcing a volunteer each month who will be awarded with a special thank you. ( To nominate a volunteer please send an email to Valeska Bispo our Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@ogleelempta.org )
You can view open volunteering opportunities and how to sign up with Voly below! Please note if you signed up previously, a new background check must be completed each school year as required by Frisco ISD!
For February, our PTA would like to recognize Skyler Hollis! Skyler is in her second year as a member of our PTA Board, this year Skyler is our VP of Programs. She has done an amazing job jumping right into organizing numerous events and school programs this year. If you attended the Fall Festival or our Multi-Cultural Night you likely saw Skyler running around setting up and organizing the evening, as she was the lead on both of these terrific events. Skyler also organizes the in-school programs brought to the kiddos by the PTA throughout the school year! Skyler deserves a big thank you as she is always involved in making a positive change at Ogle. Skyler and her partner, Chris, have 2 kiddos - Wilder (1st grade) & River (joining the Ogle Ohana in August!) We appreciate you, Skyler!!
WHEREVER YOU DECIDE TO VOLUNTEER, YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
