Updates and Reminders - May 9, 2025

Thank you to Home and School and all the parent volunteers who provided food and treats throughout the week for Teacher Appreciation Week.  Your continual kindness and support are greatly appreciated.  Here are some additional updates and reminders:

  • The Owls Who Love Speed Running Club is cancelled for today. 
  • Home and School’s 2025 Floral & Hardy Spring Fundraiser is wrapping up this Sunday, May 11.  They have lots of great options for Mother’s Day, gardening and much more!  All Mom’s on Sunday will receive a complimentary 3” Lavender plant with purchase.  Before the cashier begins scanning your items, please let them know you are with Oak Ridge Elementary, and they will give OR 10% commission on all sales.  Please tell your family and friends too!  Looks like a great weekend for planting flowers and plants!  Thanks for your support.
  • Next week’s Z-A themed days:
    • Monday- R for Red Day
    • Tuesday- Q for Question Day
    • Wednesday- P for Pajama Day
    • Thursday- O for Oak Ridge Spirit Day/Open House
    • Friday- N for Nature Day
  • Thursday, May 15th is our Open House from 5:30-7:00pm.  Feel free to stop in and see some of the work your child has done this year.
  • In May we will begin our annual placement for next year. As we work to create new classroom communities, we encourage you to share any social issues that you want us to take into consideration, or if you are hoping for your child to have a different classroom experience than an older sibling.  With the complexity of the process, we are unable to take specific teacher requests.  Please email me directly by Friday, May 16th for consideration. 
  • Tuesday, May 20th is an In-Service day for teachers.  There is no school for students that day.  
  • Here is the latest episode of News From The Nest.

Thanks for your continued support!
