Dine Out @ Chipotle

Wednesday March 22^nd from 5:00-9:00 p.m. Chipotle on Ina/Oracle will donate 50%! of sales to our school. No flyer needed but you must mention you are there to support Orange Grove Middle School. Please help spread the word and get as many people there as possible- this could be a BIG money maker for our school.

Mark your calendar for our last dine-out of the year. Thursday April 20^th, all day, MOD pizza on Wetmore/Oracle. A flyer will be needed (coming soon).

*THANK YOU Kelley Helfand for heading up our dine-out committee this year! You have made a huge impact on our school!! Great work!

8^th Grade Promotion

The FFO has a wonderful promotion planned for your student and is suggesting a $10 donation from each 8^th grader. These donations will cover the ceremony, cookie reception, 8^th grade dance, and lunch on the last day of school. You can make your donation from your intouch account or in the front office. https://az-catalinafoothills.intouchreceipting.com/ (user ID- Student ID, Password- Students last name first letter capitalized).
