Oak Hills Newsletter

We are excited to welcome Dennis Connors, a community member and parent of students at Oak Hills, to present at two school assemblies on Friday! The K-2 and 3-5 assembly will be highlighting Veterans Day and give our school community and opportunity to honor Mr. Connors for his service to our country and learn about his personal and professional accomplishments!

Volunteer Updates & Opportunities

Last week, our volunteers helped students choose which prizes to try for in our Jogathon Raffle. An easy job, but honestly, we couldn't have done it without your help, especially on Halloween!

Our volunteers are popping in whenever they can to help out in the workroom making copies, help our youngest students opening their lunch packaging, or help the second grade with Math Challenges. We also have an amazing group of Tuesday Club Volunteers and On-the-Move Lap Markers on Thursdays and Fridays!

You really know how to make our school "The Best School Ever!" We couldn't do this without you.

Take a look at what's coming up this week in our Weekly Volunteer Newsletter!
