OMS PTO: Get Involved & Make a Difference!
Wondering what the OMS PTO does or how you can help? The PTO supports our students, teachers, and staff by providing resources, organizing fun events, and building our OMS community. You don’t have to attend every meeting or volunteer at every event—every idea, donation, and helping hand makes a difference!
Fall PTO Meetings
Parents and guardians are always welcome! Meetings are a great way to learn what’s happening at OMS, hear what our teachers and staff need, and find ways to support our school.
All meetings are at 4:00 PM in the room #104A:
- September 10
- October 8
- November 12
- December 10
Color Run – October 14
The Color Run is our biggest fundraiser of the year and one of the most fun days at OMS! Students get to run, laugh, get covered in color, and just be kids. We highly recommend volunteering! A SignUpGenius will be coming soon, but consider keeping 10:00 AM–2:00 PM open if you’d like to help.
Ways You Can Help
- Teacher Lounge: Watch for a volunteer opportunity to help clean up the lounge after construction. Our teachers deserve a clean, comfortable place to eat and recharge!
- School Supplies: Donations of pencils and tissues are especially appreciated.
- Color Run Incentives: We need an Incentive Coordinator to work alongside Emily, helping brainstorm, procure, and deliver student incentives.
- PTO Leadership: Looking ahead to 2027–2028, we’ll need a new President and Treasurer. Now is a great time to get involved and learn the ropes!
Whether you can volunteer for an hour, donate supplies, attend a meeting, or simply share an idea, there’s a place for you in the OMS PTO. We hope you’ll join us this fall and help make OMS an even better place for our students and staff!
