OMS Family Newsletter

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first Shoe Drive! Together, our community collected 2,825 pairs of shoes, filling 113 bags.

A special thank you to Mrs. Yo for organizing this fundraiser, which will help repurpose shoes and reduce the cost of our Washington, DC trip. We also appreciate our incredible WEB Leaders and Wrestlers for transporting the collected shoes throughout the building and onto the truck.

Thank you for making this event a success!

Help your child stay organized by having color coded pocket folders for their classes!

Please find the OMS schedules listed below. They are also accessible on our website.
