Join Us for Cultural Night | Friday, April 25
Join us for OTE Cultural Night on Friday, April 25 from 6-8pm, and celebrate the rich diversity of our community! This family-friendly event will be an evening filled with music, dance, art, and traditions from around the world. Stroll through colorful cultural displays, savor delicious foods, and enjoy captivating performances that bring global cultures to life. OTE students will even get their own "passport" to explore the event, collecting stamps and learning something new at each table for a chance to win a prize. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of culture, connection, and community—it’s going to be an amazing night!
Spring Book Fair Volunteers Needed!
The OTE Spring BOGO Book Fair is coming up the week of April 28 and we need your help! We are looking for volunteers to help with set-up, tear down, and running the registers throughout the book fair. To see the available days/times and sign up to volunteer, click the link below.
Staff Appreciation Gift Card Drive
Every year during Teacher Appreciation Week (5/5 - 5/9), the PTO does something special for the Staff each day of that week. We cap off the week by giving a $10 Amazon gift card to EVERY Staff member. Typically, the PTO asks for your support for the various meals and treats provided that week. This year instead, we're asking for a $10 contribution to support the gift cards. Thank you for helping us show our gratitude to our wonderful OTE Staff, we appreciate your support.
