Glow Dance & Silent Auction
We appreciate everyone joining us last Friday night for our Glow Dance & Silent Auction! What a turnout!! This event wouldn't have been a success without all our fantastic PTA volunteers, our Emerson HS volunteers, and our Ogle Ohana who came out to celebrate the night. It was a fantastic evening of dancing, snacking, crafting, mingling, photo taking, and bidding! We hope you had as much fun as we did, because we can't wait to do it up again next year!

For April, our PTA would like to recognize Heather Hammer! This year has been an incredibly busy year for Heather as she took on a new job as a director of a local school. While not only being a director, she is also a wife, mother of three girls, and finds the time to be our PTA's VP of Budget & Finance. If you attended a spirit night this school year such as our Skate Night, Jason's Deli, or purchased for Nothing Bundt Cakes than Heather is the one to thank. She also was our lead on the fantastic and very successful COLOR RUN that provided funds for events this school year! Not only does Heather volunteer at Ogle but she is also very involved at Emerson HS as well! We are so grateful to have Heather on the team and appreciate all her generosity, from the time she spends volunteering to her fun and new ideas she brings to our Ogle community. THANK YOU HEATHER!!!
WHEREVER YOU DECIDE TO VOLUNTEER, YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
