Folder Stuffing for the OES Open House

Open House for the 2017-18 school year is right around the corner!

We could your help in preparing for the Big Day!

On Wednesday, August 23rd, we need volunteers to help put together the folders that will be on each student’s desk at the OES Open House (on August 24th).  That’s a lot of folders!  So we need a lot of help!

We will be working at the school in the gym beginning at 9:00 a.m. on August 23rd.  We will have multiple time slots for volunteers:  9 to 11:00 a.m.; 11 to 1:00 p.m.; and 1 to 3:00 p.m.

 Feel free to bring your older children- particularly those that would like to earn some community credits for school – to help!

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!
