The Oakland Mills Fall Festival is this Saturday, October 6th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the village center (rain or shine). This is a very special year for the festival since we're celebrating OM's 50th birthday! Be sure to come and check out the OMHS marching band's performance at 11:00, OMMS PTSA's stick-on tattoos, the SFES PTA hot dog stand, and the TSES PTA's face painting booth. While you're at it, if you haven't bought your tickets yet for the Harlem Wizards game against OM teachers and staff (see box below), the SFES PTA will be on hand at the festival selling tickets.
Also note upcoming school fundraising restaurant nights and the Board of Education Candidates Forum on October 15th, sponsored by the Oakland Mills Community Association Education Committee.
Enjoy the fall leaves while they last!
