FRANK OHL PTA NEWSLETTERDECEMBER2010

Message from the President

With the holidays upon us, I would like to thank every volunteer who has sacrificed their family time to serve the students and staff here at Frank Ohl. We recently completed a very successful book fair with over $8,000 in sales. Many books were purchased for our teachers and the library with the Scholastic Dollars we earned. Twenty students also won posters for donating to One for Books, a Scholastic program which donates a book to three different charities for each dollar donated.

I was very impressed by the quality of the donations to the Potluck Buffet we held for the staff during Parent-Teacher Conferences. We received so many positive comments by a very appreciative staff! We could not have provided these things for our school without our wonderful volunteers!

There are many exciting events coming up this month, with a choir concert as well as the Drama Club’s first performance of A Christmas Carol. The month will wrap up with our Room Parties from 12:30-1:30 on the 22nd. Please attend our meeting on the 9th at 10AM. We will be having a Room Parent informational meeting immediately following our unit meeting.

Our January Market Day Sale will be the first Friday after we return from break, but the orders will be due online at by Monday, January 3rd at 11PM. If you prefer to turn in a paper order sheet, it must be at the school no later than noon on December 22nd. We are featuring a very special offer for our January customers! For every $20 you order, your name will be entered into a drawing for a Market Day gift certificate (ex: $60 order = 3 entries into the drawing!).

I hope the coming year finds you in good health and good fortune!

Karen Fritz, PTA President
