Keeping you in the Loop at Orange Grove
Keeping you in the Loop at Orange Grove
I’m sure you will all agree that the summer flew by! Ready
or not, here we go! It is a busy
time for everyone and I hope you and your student will transition back to
school smoothly. I’d like to
say thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that have helped to make our Pick
Up and Unpack days run smoothly.
We couldn’t have done it without you!
For those of you new to OGMS, welcome! As a parent at Orange Grove, you are already
a member of our Family Faculty
Organization (FFO), and we invite you to learn more about our group by
attending the first meeting of the
school year on August 26th at
8:30 a.m. in the school library.
We realize that it isn’t possible for everyone to make these meetings,
especially working parents, but it isn’t the only way for you to find out about
what’s going on at school. The FFO
has a website where you can learn about our fundraisers, the various
opportunities to volunteer, and read the minutes from our meetings. You can always look to the monthly blog,
or contact any member of the executive board if you have questions or want to
know more about our group: http://orangegroveffo.com/contact-information/.
We had many volunteers sign up for lunch duty at Pick Up and Unpack, but we can always use more
help. During the lunch periods,
parents are needed to help supervise students so teachers and staff can take
their lunch break or be available to work in other areas of campus. Please consider visiting the sign up
genius to see if there is a day/lunch time that works for you to volunteer: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0c48aba729a31-lunch
THANK YOU to all of you that have already contributed to the
Direct Donation Campaign! We want
you to know that every donation counts, whether it is $5 or $500, because it all goes toward supporting our students
and teachers. This campaign
continues throughout the year, so if you’d like to make a donation, look for
the orange envelopes in the office, contact Linda Gee at lsgee@comcast.net, or use the paypal option
on our website: http://orangegroveffo.com/fundraising/panther-pride-direct-donations/.
Save the date for
the Parent Open House on Thursday, September 1st at 6:00 p.m. This is a time for parents to follow
their child’s daily schedule, meet their teachers and learn more about a day in
the life at Orange Grove.
Looking forward to a GREAT year at Orange Grove. Thank you from your FFO!
Galena Robinson, OGMS FFO President
