March Update

Dear PTSA Members,

Thank you to everyone who helped make February such a fun month at OCJH. As we head into the 4th term of the year, we want to recognize those who go above and beyond to make a difference at Oak Canyon. After receiving numerous nominations from out PTSA members, Mr Hunter was selected as the OCJH PTSA Outstanding Educator. He was also an Outstanding Educator winner for all of our Region which encompasses the entire Alpine school district. We are so grateful to have him as part of the Oak Canyon community!

Here is a link to the minutes from the February meeting.

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! We really need help with 2nd lunches (12:15-12:45), if this is a time you can help please sign up.

Other Ways to Support
Faculty Gift Baskets
Thank you for all of the support on  he faculty gift baskets. We’re very close to having all of the faculty covered,  it we have some urgent needs! There are 3 faculty members in the next 2 weeks who need baskets - please see if you can help! 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!
