Dear Oster Parent Community,
We are overwhelmed with gratitude and warmth as we reflect on the incredible outpouring of appreciation we received during Staff Appreciation Week. Your thoughtful gestures, from the beautiful flowers to the heartfelt handwritten cards, staff treats, and the delicious breakfast teats and lunch, touched our hearts in ways we cannot fully express.
Working with such a supportive and caring community like yours is an absolute blessing. Your kindness and generosity serve as constant reminders of why we are so passionate about what we do. Knowing that we have your unwavering support uplifts us and inspires us to continue striving for excellence every single day.
On behalf of the entire Oster staff, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your generosity and thoughtfulness have left a lasting impact on us, and we are truly blessed to have such amazing families as part of our school community.
Oster's Open House will be on Wednesday, May 22nd. From 6:00-7:00 pm, parents will have an opportunity to visit their child’s classroom(s). As in year’s past, the classroom visits are a time for families to celebrate a year of student learning and growth with students sharing unique pieces of their learning.
Congruent to classroom visits (6:00-7:30pm), parents and students are encouraged to participate in STEAM actives. Our STEAM theme this year is full steam ahead.
The Silent Auction and Art Vistas display will run 6:00-7:30 in the Oster cafeteria. Home & School Club volunteers have been hard at work setting up the art displays and rounding up some great items to auction, so bring your checkbooks (or, credit cards, cash, ApplePay, you get the idea…) because all proceeds support activities, programs and enrichment for our students, families, teachers & staff!
We hope to see you there!
Go Cougars!
Hello Oster Families, we’ve got some sweet news for you! The Girls on the Run community has decided to set up a bake sale. This delicious event will be located after school near the big tree on Monday, May 13th, from 2:40-3:00. The bake sale will have cookies to cakes and they are all nut free. Each treat will be $2. You might ask yourselves, “Why are we doing this event?” Glad you asked. This year's Girls on the Run community impact project is supporting the Oster Home and School Club. The money will be donated directly back to Oster to make our school shine even brighter. Thanks for your support, and see you on Monday!
