We had a successful bus evacuation drill this week and enjoyed two excellent concerts featuring Bart Weisman and Vento Chiaro! Excitement is building for our Fun Run, so be sure to read below for important information and fundraiser updates.  This week, we began a special segment of our Friday announcements called "Courtesy Corner."  This week's focus was saying hello and greeting an adult in the hallway, in the stairwell, when walking into school, etc. We encourage families to continue the conversation about this Courtesy Corner segment at home with your student.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Fun Run Fundraising Incentive: Tattoo a Staff Member! As we continue building excitement and support for our Fun Run fundraising efforts, we’re introducing a fun incentive to celebrate our top fundraisers! Next Friday, the 10 students in each grade who have raised the most money will each have the opportunity to select a staff member to receive a temporary tattoo. Thank you to our staff members who are willing to participate and help make this a memorable and fun way to support our school! Families, keep up the great fundraising work, and stay tuned for the big reveal!

We are thrilled to announce that twenty-seven 6th-grade students are officially bringing back 

the Oak Ridge School Store!

As part of a hands-on Deeper Learning project, our student team is meeting twice a week to learn the ins and outs of running a business, budgeting, customer service, inventory tracking, and practical financial literacy.

To help generate startup funds to stock our inventory, our PTA has generously donated Sandwich "Proud to be Blue" T-shirts for us to sell.

100% of profits from this sale will go directly toward our startup costs to purchase practical, affordable school supplies—such as pencils, erasers, and small notebooks—for our grand opening inventory.

Our 6th-grade student staff will handle every aspect of store operations, from running the cash register and customer service to inventory management and marketing. Following next week's t-shirt sale, students will focus on preparing for our official Grand Opening in late November.

Keep an eye out for more details and updates coming soon on ParentSquare!
