Dear OPES Families,

As the leaves begin to redden and holiday plans are made, I can't help but feel sentimental. Autumn has always signaled the closing of one chapter and the opening of a new one. Our hearts fill with gratitude for our loved ones and all that we've accomplished throughout the year. Despite the hardships we may face at times, we know that if we work together, we will be stronger and more capable because of it.

Every year in November, we host our Thanks-GIVE-ing event, in which we ask for monetary donations to provide food gift cards to OPES families in need. It truly takes a village and your support to our school, to our students and to our faculty are immeasurable. If you'd like to donate, please click here.

During this season of thanks, we'd also like to say how grateful we are for you! Thank you for all you do!

Sincerely,

Orchard Park Elementary School PTO
