A Message from ORES Principal Denise Francisco
|
This week we begin by sharing many thoughts of appreciation to you – our parents! You provided a great deal of support to our school last week through visiting our Book Fair and attending Student Led Conferences. As a staff, we reflected on the high number of parents attending and felt a sense of support and appreciation for the amazing partnership that we share in educating our students! We hope that you found last week to be helpful in understanding the rigorous learning that your child experiences each day. We also hope that you will continue to collaborate with us and volunteer because we know that working together we can continue to make Oak Ridge Elementary the best of the best!
Our 3rd and 4th graders will be traveling on Monday morning to see the Greensboro Symphony. This Thursday is the last day of the 3rd Quarter Grading Period. There is no school Friday of this week. Report Cards for 3rd Quarter will be sent home with students on Tuesday, April 9th.

Congratulations to Cadence Langlois! She is our Superstar of the Week this week!
-- Mrs. Pritchett
I would like to recognize Aimee and Zella from Mrs. Gsell’s reading class! They both presented their Character Projects to my reading students. They were very brave and did an excellent job! My students were very appreciative and it gave them great ideas for their own projects!

So make sure to join us this Tuesday, March 26, from 6-8 PM at SkateWorld (1995 W Mountain St.) in Kernersville. It's just $5 (cash only, please) for admission with roller skate rental.
We hope to see you there!

VOLUNTEER TODAY for the PTO!
|
There are so many ways to help with PTO, but if you are looking for a wonderful opportunity to enrich your children’s education, here is your chance! This week's featured position:
PRESIDENT OF THE PTO! This job includes monthly meetings, serving on the School Based Leadership Team, supporting PTO Board members and their committees, running the Cash for Colts fundraising campaign, liaising with school administrators, helping to plan the PTO budget, serving as a point person for committee Chairs and event planners to make sure that the year runs smoothly and more! The outgoing President is committed to working with the new President to help them in their first year – especially in August-October, which is the busiest time of the year. This is a job that sounds daunting, and is a lot of work, but
it is exceptionally rewarding and the 2019-2020 President will be supported but an outstanding PTO Board that is incoming and already in place!
