Dear OPES Families,

Thanks to you, we reached our Thanks-GIVE-ing event goal of $1000! With these funds, we are able to purchase grocery gift cards for our OPES families in need, as we celebrate all that we are grateful for. I know at times, it feels as if we are asking a lot of you, but everything that we ask has a powerful impact on our school, students and community.

The holiday season is a financially burdensome and stressful time for families that are already struggling to get by. With your generosity, we provide meals for these families, so that our students don't have to worry about where their next meal will come from. With your generosity, we deliver presents to these families that are often not able to purchase even the bare necessities. Our students' faces light up when they receive gifts that they may not have received otherwise. And because of YOU, we can continue to run these programs every year! Yes, sometimes it may seem like a lot, but we will continue to ask because it means so much to these families. 

This December, we are again running our Angel Tree program. Please click here to sign up. Thank you for all that you do in support of our school!

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season,

Orchard Park Elementary School PTO
