Dear Families,
We hope that you have all had a safe and enjoyable summer and that you are looking forward to the 2017-2018 academic year which will begin on September 7th.
Oak Street School received some desperately needed improvements over the summer. The HVAC upgrade project was completed and the third and fourth grade classrooms finally have the central air conditioning that we have waited years for. Additionally, the PTO Board voted unanimously at the end of last year to make a gift of $35,000 to provide a much needed refresh to the school’s Auditorium. The BOE provided roof and plaster repairs, and the PTO paid for the walls, floor and chair bases to be painted, and new curtains were ordered and are to be installed this fall. Our Auditorium will now be a beautiful setting for assemblies, concerts, movies, and our 5th grade end of year ceremonies.
Our PTO year officially begins on the first day of school with our Kindergarten Tea, followed by Family Pizza Night on September 15th. Over the course of the school year, the PTO will coordinate and support over 50 activities including: the Science Expo; the Wizard of Words event with guest authors; Roald Dahl Day and Colonial Day for our 3rd & 4th graders; mini-grants and so many other behind-the-scenes efforts that assist our teachers with the support, material and technology that they require.
To fund all of our programs, we conduct the PTO Pledge Drive as our main fundraising effort. A successful drive to reach our goal of $20,000 helps to minimize the need for additional fundraisers throughout the year. Traditionally, a pledge of $50 per student has been recommended, and the first $10 of this tax-deductible pledge is used to enable your access to the online Oak Street School family directory. Please also consider any gift-matching that your employer may provide.
Thanks in advance for your generous response to the 2017-2018 OSS PTO Pledge Drive. All that we accomplish throughout the year is only made possible by your support.
Sincerely,
Kathy Mastriano and Lori Kendis, Co-Presidents
