It’s going to be a NIGHT IN ALL WHITE for our Winter Dance this year! Get ready to dance the night away on Saturday, February 1 at our Winter White Out Dance (with Highlighters!) The optional dress code is simple - all white! You may dress it up or down, however if you would like your child to let friends write on their shirts with highlighters, we suggest a plain white tee or anything you don't mind being drawn on with highlighters. See the PTO Website for more details.

We have officially kicked off our annual Kids Heart Challenge and we need your help! Over the next few weeks our students will be focusing on the importance of heart health and raising awareness for the American Heart Association.

This year, we have an important goal: 100% of our families learning the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR! It only takes two minutes to learn, and it can double or triple a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest.

PARENTS – HERE’S HOW TO GET STARTED:

Step 1. Sign up your student online here:

Step 2. Complete Finn’s Mission and learn Hands-Only CPR as a family.

Let’s work together to create a community of lifesavers. Thank you for your support in helping us achieve this incredible goal!

We are excited to announce that applications for the 2025-2026 school year are now open for the FMSD 4K programs! To learn more about the program offerings and to apply, please visit the following links:

We encourage families to apply early and look forward to welcoming new students to our 4K program!

It’s almost time to start another awesome season of Let Me Run and we are looking for volunteers to lead a team of boys at Orchard Park Elementary!

Let Me Run is a 7-week program that uses the power of running and a comprehensive wellness, social and emotional development curriculum to help boys grow inside and out. It’s a special program, but we need volunteers like you to make it happen at our school. You don't have to be a runner to be a great Let Me Run Coach. Watch this Video to learn more and then Register to Coach.

The deadline to decide whether we will have a team is February 10. Practices will begin mid-March. Any questions? Email nikkip@letmerun.org.
