May PTA President's Message

PTA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE


Dear Parents and Friends of OES,


I can't believe that this is the final newsletter of the school year. How time has flown this year. We have had a great year and as I reflect on the school year I can't help but feel gratitude for all the people that help our children have a great experience here at Orem Elementary. First of all we have Principal Bolingbroke and the teachers and staff here at OES that really care about our kids and are working hard every day to make sure they have a good safe learning environment and a quality education. We are very lucky to have the great teachers that we have.


I also reflect on all of the many hours that you parents put in volunteering in the classroom and for the other PTA activities. We have had a lot of really fun activities this year that would not be possible without the help of volunteers. So thank you so much for all that you have done to help in any way this school year. Many hands make light work and there are truly many, many hands that help here at OES.


May will be a busy month with teacher appreciation, field day, beautification day, and 6th grade graduation. For Teacher appreciation we will be treating our teachers to lunch, breakfast and many other activities. We have a tradition of showering them with flowers on Wednesday that week. We will have flowers for sale before school and the teachers all have a vase in their classrooms. Feel free to bring a flower from home or buy one for $1 to give to your child’s teacher. This is a fun way to show them how much we love and appreciate them. I also suggest you have your child sit down some time that week a write a letter or draw a picture for their teacher. A heartfelt letter or picture is a treasure for a teacher. Watch for notes coming home for the other end of year activities.


Once again if anyone is looking to become more involved with the PTA Cathy Ambrose will be the president next year and would love some help. You can contact her at oeskids@gmail.com or call her at 801-802-9492. If you have any feedback for the PTA we will be sending out our annual assessment in May. Your feedback helps us improve and make things better in the future so please return them.


Once again thank you for your support this year and for all you have done to make OES a great place for our kids.


-Toni Carlson, PTA President
