Teacher and Staff Luncheon

The Live Oak PTA is planning a Winter Holiday Luncheon for our amazing teachers and staff.  The luncheon will be catered by one of our staff's favorite restaurants. To help make these arrangements, we ask you to kindly make a small donation. We hope to reach our goal of $2000, to cover the lunches for approximately 100 staff members, before December 13th . Let's show our teachers and staff how much they mean to us and wish them a wonderful holiday season. To contribute to the holiday luncheon, please click here. Thank you so much for your consideration and generosity. 

Yearbook Cover Contest - Submit by Dec 1st!

Calling all fifth graders! Yearbook Cover Contest 

Lights, Camera, Action! We need your help designing the 2023-2024 yearbook cover. The contest is only open to current Live Oak 5th grade students. For complete rules and requirements click here. Submit your entry to the front office by 3 pm on Friday, December 1st. Good luck!

Yearbook Photos

The yearbook committee wants your photos! To upload photos (from school events) for yearbook consideration, go to TreeRing. 

From the Tree Ring app, upload pictures directly from your phone. 

Under "Shared Photos," you will find labeled folders for each class and specific school events. Please upload your photos to the appropriate folder.

Each year, families approach room parents asking about winter holiday gifts for teachers and staff. Per Live Oak PTA rules, class funds may not be used to purchase group holiday gifts. Room parents may share their teacher’s interest inventory list with their class or share their teacher’s preferences (ie: Ms. B likes to shop at Target, enjoys gourmet popcorn, watching the Warriors, and dining at Mendocino Farms). 

Some families may choose to purchase gift cards for their teachers. Unfortunately, several teachers received gift cards with zero balances last year. To avoid gift card scammers, we strongly advise families to avoid purchasing gift cards at big kiosks in grocery stores and discount department stores. Instead, if you wish to purchase a gift card for someone, buy the cards stored behind a cashier OR send a gift card electronically. For example, buy Amazon gift cards directly from Amazon. Contact roomparent@liveoakpta.net with questions. Thank you.
