ORE Mountain Lion Tracks-December 2023

Ocotillo Ridge Elementary School

December 2023

Letter from the Principal

Dear Ocotillo Ridge Families,

We had a great November at ORE! We raised over $28,500 during our PTA Fit A Thon, our 4th and 5th graders performed beautifully at their grade level musicals, Student Council collected over 1,000 food items for the Food Bank, we accumulated over 785 hours of volunteer hours and honored almost 500 students who had great attendance! And that’s in addition to all of the great classroom and club activities that also took place.

As we look ahead into the month of December, we have more great activities taking place. Please see the important dates and flyer section below for more details so you are sure not to miss out!

Wishing you all a wonderful Holiday Season,

Mrs. Robold

Principal
