As we prepare for our annual Trunk or Treat, we're asking for donations of candy or treats! The homeroom with the highest number of candy pieces will win a PIZZA PARTY! Some classes already have a head start. Donations can be turned into the classroom teacher OR placed in the candy monsters in the front lobby- but be sure to put your child's classroom teacher name on it or someone else will get the credit! :) Let the games begin!

Current Class leads:

Kindergarten: Blackburn 621 pieces, Sinclair 565 pieces

First Grade: Jackson 305 pieces, Ellis 295

Second Grade: Scheppler 541 pieces, Nelson 460

Sign up to be a Book Fair Volunteer! Help students select some good books and budget their money. Students will shop on their regularly assigned Library day! THANK you so much to all parents who have already offered their time!

Our PTO is continuing to expand! Thank you to those who attended our most recent meeting. :) If you're looking for a way to get more involved in your child's school experience, check out our PTO! We are a Parent-Teacher-Organization that supports the students and staff of our school. Any dues paid or funds raised 100% stay at our school. We also have volunteer opportunities for parents and guardians at our school events and activities, both during the school day and after hours. Please join us and bring a friend to our next meeting on Wednesday, October 8th at 4:30pm in our Opequon Elementary Library!

We hope you'll join us in creating another great year at Opequon Elementary!

Parents! Students have had a great opportunity to try new foods over the past few weeks. As a reminder, the choice offered M-F remains the same from week to week:

Monday's Choice is Soft Pretzel with Cheddar Dip

Tuesday's Choice is Chef Salad with Breadstick

Wednesday's Choice is Cheesy Pull Apart Bread with Marinara

Thursday's Choice is Cheeseburger with Toppings

Friday's Choice is Whole Grain Chicken Nuggets with Dipping Sauce

These remain an option for students throughout the week on each day. We continue to see lots of salad eaters!
