Fun Snack Cart for our OCCS Staff & Teachers:

Help us show appreciation to the OCCS teachers and staff on Wednesday, May 8, 2024! We have made a few changes on how we will do the “Fun Snack Cart” by spreading it out to have a snack brought in one day a quarter instead of just one week of blessing them. You can choose to sign up to volunteer your time to serve the snacks to the teachers or you can sign up to make them a special treat!

To Serve- you will come in at 1:45 to individually plate the items, place on a cart and walk them around school delivering to teachers and staff. After you are done bringing the treats you will bring the remaining treats back to the teacher’s lounge. Please clean up the area you used.

To bring food- Please have food to school by 1:00. We will need 8 people to make desserts/snacks items to serve 12 teacher and staff. (These items can be desserts, pie, bars, cookies, snack mix cups, etc.) Thank you for signing up!
