A Letter from OMS PTSO
January 31, 2012
Dear OMS Families,
Hopefully everyone is having a happy and healthy New Year. As the second half of the school year begins, we wanted to reach out and inform our community about the status of the OMS PTSO.
-
We have completed both of our only two fundraisers for the year. The magazine drive was a success and we are grateful to all who participated. We also had a successful turnout at our Annual Holiday Shopping Day in December. Again, thank you to all who helped through the planning, donating, setup/clean up, and for volunteering the day of the fair. Each year we raise approximately $14,000 to successfully support the middle school students and staff. These fundraisers defray costs of field trips, support in- school enrichments – one for every grade, pay for 8th grade activities, and fund afterschool programs such as yearbook, drama and homework club to name a few.
-
Our main goal for the second half of this school year is to ask for help from parents to volunteer to step in and keep the PTSO intact. Over the last two years we have had a marked matriculation in our board and committee chairs. This year we will have three board members "retire" – all moving on to the high school. We will have three remaining board members left and they cannot do this alone. Some of the needs for next year will be in fundraising – we usually have one person chair the magazine drive and another chair the holiday shopping day; a person to take over Spiritwear; people to be board members; also needed is a volunteer to take over the website. We will not throw you to the wolves – we will assist you and whichever task you choose. New ideas and thoughts are always welcome!
-
We have four meetings left – February 15th, March 21st, April 25th and May 16th – all at 7PM in the Media Center at the Middle School. Please consider joining us at one (or all!) the meetings. Email us if you can't attend – our emails are on our website. We understand everyone is busy but if we do not get some fresh faces and help, the remaining board will not be able to function fully and will probably have to make the hard decision to end the PTSO by the end of the next school year.
Getting involved is not a huge time commitment and the OMS PTSO needs your help and support to continue offering the valuable programs to the middle school students and staff. Thank you for your time and consideration
