Help is needed with the School Store
Did you know that the OGES PTA operates the School Store? The School Store is open every morning from 8:30-8:50 and we are in need of volunteers next year to work a shift. Whether you can volunteer to work a weekly shift or maybe a shift every 2 weeks, any help would be appreciated. Please send an email to orchardgrovepta@gmail.com with what day(s) you're available to help.
The OGES PTA needs YOUR help this year!
Did you know that FCPS is projecting a student enrollment of over 600 children at OGES this year? By joining the OGES PTA in September, you will be helping to fund field trips, assemblies, and family activities (such as Family Movie Nights, Trunk-or-Treat, Dads & Donuts, and Moms & Muffins). You will also help to fund a daily Dolphin folder for each child and staff appreciation events.
Without volunteers helping the PTA, these programs and events simply cannot take place. We need your help. It’s a simple as that. Please go to this link and look over the list of where help is needed this year: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0b4aadab2aa0f49-20182019
Many of these events occur only once a year so a large time commitment on your end will not be required. If you have any questions, please email the PTA at orchardgrovepta@gmail.com.
