To All of the Parents Who Volunteered this Year:

In our lives, one thing we cannot create, accumulate, buy or borrow is time.  We have a limited amount of time for sleep, work, family and our own interests.  Thus, an individual’s time – your time – is a very precious commodity.  Your willingness to contribute some of that valuable time to OES shows your commitment to the well-being of your child and all of our students.  

As you know, students, staff, and parents here at OES enjoy a warm, caring community that fosters the highest standards of academic, social, and emotional growth. The efforts of volunteers like you are a vital part of that community.

On behalf of the OES PTA…..

A FOND FAREWELL and BEST WISHES

The PTA acknowledges two of the people at OES who have made our days brighter and strengthened the minds and hearts of our children.  They will be retiring at the end of this school year.

Kathleen Marshall began her career with FCPS in 1989 and has been part of Oakton Elementary School since 1997.  She has touched countless lives with her dedication and devotion to our OES students and families.

Janet Quaderer began her career with FCPS in 2000 at Oakton Elementary School and has been an integral part of our OES family since then.  It’s hard to imagine OES without her!

We send our deeply-felt thanks, congratulations and very best wishes to these beloved women.  Your contributions to our school are very much appreciated. While we know you will go on to make more amazing contributions elsewhere, we’re certainly sad to see you go!

 

 KINDERGARTEN SUMMER PLAYDATES!

Do you have a rising OES Kindergartner or know someone who does? 

We will be hosting four (4) Kindergarten playdates over the summer so incoming OES Kindergarten students can meet each other, and start their 2017-18 Kindergarten school year with some familiar faces and new friends! It’s also a great way for parents to connect!

All playdates will be held at the Oakton Elementary School playground from 10:00 to Noon.   

Currently scheduled playdates:

Sat. July 8

Sat. July 22

Sat. Aug. 5

Sat. Aug. 19

Looking for an amazing flag football program for your son or daughter (K-9th grades)?

Check out Flag Star Football, a Sunday-only league with two goals: Get Better and Have Fun!

No screaming coaches, no mid-week practices – just fun, teamwork and some fresh air on Sunday afternoon.  It’s organized, it’s active, and it’s run by a super positive set of coaches and referees. This is a league for everyone – boys and girls, athletes and bookworms – and is committed to full-inclusion (financial aid available).  

You can find more information at flagstarfootball.siplay.com, or email Coach Ehrlich (the league’s founder) at Carl@flagstarfootball.com with any questions.

This league is really something cool — so act now or forever hold your cleats!!
