February Update

Dear PTSA Members,

February is an exciting month at Oak Canyon! There are a lot of fun things happening - Book Fair, Oak Canyon’s Got Talent and Career Day just to name a few. Please stop by the PTSA table in the foyer during Parent Teacher Conferences. It’s never too late to join PTSA, get involved or buy an Eagle Card which are now only $5. We’ll also have suckers available to get you through the night! I hope to see you there!

How to Get Involved
Attend a Meeting
We will be meeting in the library on Tuesday, February 20 from 10-11. As always, everyone is welcome. If you haven’t ever attended a PTSA meeting, but would like to know more about what we do, this is a great way to get started. We love seeing new faces and hearing new ideas! At this month’s meeting, the Nominating Committee will present their slate of nominees to fill the positions on the executive board next year.

Sucker Sales
One of the funnest ways to volunteer at Oak Canyon is to help with sucker sales on Fridays at lunch or at evening performances. Check out this sign up and see if you’re able to come be part of the fun. It’s a really great opportunity to interact the OCJH students and you’ll be able to get your suckers at half price!

Can't get to the School Book Fair? Have grandparents or other family that would like to purchase your student a book and have it delivered to the school?  Shop online at:  http://www.scholastic.com/bf/oakcanyonjuniorhighschool. Have your students stop in the fair for candy guesses, drawings, tell us about what books they are excited about.  
 
Faculty Gift Baskets
We have several faculty birthdays coming up that we need a volunteer for. Simply sign up here and then you will receive information about some of the faculty member’s favorite things. You can put together a basket of some of those things on your own time and drop it off at the office for delivery on their special day. We ask that you keep it to around $20 per basket. This is a fun and easy way to serve our fabulous Oak Canyon faculty!

Eagle Cards
The 2017-2018 Eagle Cards are now available for only $5 and include over 30 amazing offers!   

We want to know what offers you love on your Eagle Card! Watch for our Facebook promo and and you could win a free Eagle Card just for posting a picture of where you love to use your card and including #lovemyeaglecard

We’re putting the S in PTSA!
