Hope you're enjoying the fine, spring-like weather after all of that polar cold! This month, report cards are issued for students, and PTA activities are in full-swing. See individual school boxes below to stay on top of all the events. We are also still collecting donations for the Oakland Mills High School food pantry. Bring items in to The Other Barn during regular office hours, and we will deliver them to OMHS.
Have a wonderful day!
