News in a Nutshell #11

The Oak Ridge Home & School Board wishes everyone a great summer! See you in August! Please see lots of updates and ways to stay engaged over the summer!

Are you in the mood for a date night without the kids or perhaps you would enjoy a family dinner; whichever you choose, you will have a great time at Bella Fiona. Take out is an option as well. Their menu is available to view online. Hope to see you there!

Even though summer is just beginning, shop early and your Back to school supplies will be ready for pick up in August. There is a $13.50 Back to School Kit/BASH donation that would be a great donation to help teachers replenish the supplies in their classrooms throughout the year - check out more information on Facebook!

Oak Ridge Home & School is collecting monetary donations for Back To School Supply Kits for children in our school who may need a helping hand. If you are able to donate $5, $10 or any amount that you are comfortable with, the funds collected will be used to purchase Back to School Supply Kits for the 2025-2026 school year - just click this link if you would like to donate. Thank you for your generosity.

**Audiobooks are storybooks/picture books. For our older grades, we will have reading activities based upon popular characters and book series.

We had an amazing year for Box Tops! We were able to purchase lots of recess equipment for the students. Thank you to everyone who participated in the program. It’s never too late to enroll. Please keep scanning all summer long. There will be updates and more information posted to our website and Facebook page. Our new Box Tops year will begin on July 1.

Exciting Bonus Offers from Walmart! Do you have your Walmart Account Connected to your Box Tops Account? Starting June 1st, all new Walmart Connected Accounts will earn $5 for Oak Ridge!

Also from June 1-Sept 14 Walmart is offering Double Box Tops for all participating products!! This is an awesome time for Oak Ridge to earn extra money towards Recess and Playground Equipment.

Thanks for all of your support!

Oak Ridge Home and School has joined the Oriental Trading PTA/PTO Loyalty Club. One of our first perks of the program is this free shipping offer. This offer does not have an expiration date as of right now and can be used over and over again. It’s perfect for planning picnics, summer parties, end of the year gifts, birthdays, graduations and so much more!

A note about our new spiritwear clothing store: follow this link to check out the store. It is open all the time, so there is no deadline to order. If you are not in a rush for your items or wish to avoid the shipping fee, we will be offering free ship-to-school a few times during the year. The next free shipment will be offered early next school year and will be communicated as it gets closer.

Please contact Wendy Weatherford with any questions wteschner@gmail.com

Stay tuned for an End of year Treasurer Report this summer. With several events including this past weekend's fundraiser, we wanted to wait until all of the details are finalized. Thanks for all of your support this year!
