Kids Corps Needs Parent Leader(s)
We need a Parent Lead! The parent lead will be working with the school counselor and school social worker to help run KidsCorps.
OCE KidsCorps is a Club for 4th & 5th Graders who are interested in serving others through servant leadership by fulfilling three goals:
- To develop servant leaders by identifying students’ gifts and talents and how they can be used to serve others.
- To create an awareness of the needs of others locally, nationally, and internationally.
- To partner with local, national, and international agencies to provide service opportunities to those in need.
Move Picnic Tables Across Campus
We need helping hands to move picnic tables from one side of campus to the other. We are moving the metal picnic tables across campus to create outdoor classroom learning areas near the fourth and fifth grade cottages.
Sign up here to help us Friday, October 7th at noon.
If you are interested in helping, but the time on the sign-up doesn’t work for your schedule, please email Mandy (mandymacnaughton@gmail.com) to coordinate another time to help.

We're excited to welcome families back into the cafeteria as lunch volunteers!
