Thank you to all our volunteers who helped “Green Up the Courtyard” on St. Paddy’s Day! They transplanted strawberries, cut back perennials and “saved the stems”, weeded the raised beds, harvested the largest carrot in OGE history, and even planted Irish potatoes!

Due to popular demand, we’ll be having another family workday on Tuesday, April 1st from 2:30pm-4:30pm in the courtyard. Sign-up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/ 30E0949ABA62DA0FC1-55798069-april. “Saved the Stems” link: https://xerces.org/sites/default/files/publications/22-005_01_web- screen.pdf

CALLING ALL PARENTS - It’s time for Field Day 2025! 🎉

Volunteering is a fantastic way to give back as we wrap up the school year.

Parents will assist students as they navigate 30+ exciting events during our Camping-themed Field Day! 🌲🏕️

Good news! Level 3 clearance (background check, training, and fingerprinting) is NOT required to volunteer for Field Day.

Field Day is made possible thanks to your support. You can sign up for shifts based on grade level.
