PTA Membership

Thank you to all our parents, grandparents, family members, faculty and community members who have joined the OKE PTA!  Every year it is our goal to have one voice for each child enrolled at OKE.  So we are looking for more to join our commYOUnity!  We have had 100% membership EVERY YEAR since OKE opened its doors 13 years ago.  Your membership does NOT mean you must volunteer, though we have a place for you if you choose.  Please download the membership form from OKEPTA.org, send it in with your kiddo, and join our commYOUnity.

We only need 25 more memberships!  

Aussie Auction

Thank you to all who supported our Aussie Auction.  We could not have been successful without you.

International Night

Koalas Around the World was a huge success!  Thank you for coming out and joining us for your trip around the world and learning about interesting cultures, facts, places, languages, and traditions of the countries represented in our school. A very special thank you to our wonderful ESL team for spearheading such a wonderful event.  Thank you to everyone within our community that helped. OKE is very proud of our culturally diverse community.

Mark your calendar…. Red Ribbon Week is October 24^th- 28^th

Red Ribbon Week is an opportunity for OKE and the PTA 
to join forces to educate the students about the importance of being healthy and drug free. This nationwide campaign is to help promote the importance of “nurturing healthy, drug free youth”. As an added reminder about the importance of this week, we are suggesting that the students dress for each day of the week.

Monday- wear Red

Tuesday-Too Bright For Drugs - wear sunglasses

Wednesday-Lai Off Drugs - wear Hawaiian theme

Thursday-Sock It To Drugs - wear crazy socks

Friday-Team Up Against Drugs - wear favorite team jersey

We have had to postpone the start date of Biblionasium to allow our upgraded system to be tested.  We look forward to getting the program started soon.
