Media help needed…

Hello, Parents! Being the end of the year, I need lots of volunteers to help shelve books and inventory to prepare for the coming school year. There are 2 Sign-Up Geniuses, one for regular Media Center volunteers to shelve books and another for the week-long inventory project June 17-21. If you have any free time, I’ll appreciate your help!

Show our Teachers How Much you LOVE Them!

Dear Oak Grove Parents,
This is a very special time of the year when we have a chance to honor our great teachers and staff. Teacher Appreciation Week is Monday, May 6th – Friday, May 10th (Tracks 1, 2, and 4) and the week of May 20th – May 24th for track 3. The PTA has attached a schedule for TAW and the main focus is to let the staff/teachers know how much you appreciate them. Throughout TAW there are many opportunities to show your appreciation throughout our school. We are encouraging you to participate as much as you can.
There are volunteer opportunities for food contribution and classroom help for the teacher’s luncheon on May 9th. The luncheon gives teachers an opportunity to come together and eat as a group but that won’t be possible unless volunteers step up to stand in during that time slot. This is very rare and we need your help to make it happen. Please consider signing up this week to cover your child’s class and/or contribute to the meal itself.
Thank you to all our Oak Grove parents for being so supportive! Let’s make this a great Teacher Appreciation Week and show our teachers how much we appreciate their hard work!
If you have any questions regarding Teacher Appreciation Week, please contact Tracy Roberts at robertsclan@bellsouth.net.
