Memory Books

Dear Parents-

Time has flown by and we have reached the end of another school year.  I have just a few last minute items to make you aware of.

First, Memory books will be distributed on Wednesday, May 30^th to the ninth grade, and Thursday, May 31^st to the  eighth and seventh grades.  I need to make one last request for volunteers.  I need 12 people to help Wednesday, May 30^th  from 1:15 – 3 pm and 24 people on Thursday, May  31^st  from 1:15 -3 pm.  If you are able to help us out, please let me or Jodi Parker (jodiparker@hotmail.com) know. I can’t thank you all enough for the time and support that you have given us this year. Reality Town, the Book Fairs, Harmon’s Day, Vision and Hearing Screening, the  Bring your Parent to School days, and Teacher Appreciation have all been a tremendous success because of you.

Second, I want to introduce The PTSA Executive Board for the 2012 – 2013 school year. Serving as PTSA President is Kellene Adams, with Wendy Judd as President-Elect and Tiffany Parks as Treasurer. Jill Nebeker will continue as Secretary, Lynnae Dunn will continue as Membership VP, and Shannon Smith will continue as Legislative VP.  Thanks to all of you who participated in our online voting this year.

Last, I want to express my appreciation to all of the wonderful ladies that have served on the PTSA this year, as well as Mr. Anderson, the staff, and the teachers. Also, Ms. Howard and the amazing PTSA Student Board. You all have been incredible to work with.

Thanks for a great year,

Lisa Zupancic

OHMS PTSA President

We Need You!

The PTA plays a key role in providing important, fun, and rewarding activities for our students, and we couldn’t do it without you! Please consider helping us out next year—it really is time well spent!

·         Book Fair Coordinator (organizes and oversees our Book Fair, which is held two times a year during Student-Led Conferences)

·         Web Page Coordinator (keeps our PTA website up to date)

Please contact Kellene at 801-257-5359 or KAdams@stampinup.com if you have questions or are interested in one of these positions. 

Harmons PTA Day

Hello Everyone-

It’s hard to believe that the school year is half over! We are looking forward to an exciting and fun-filled second semester. I just wanted to let you know about a few things that we have coming up. First, we have Harmons PTA Day on Thursday February 9. This is a very easy way for you to help raise some money for our school. Harmons donates 5% of their profits for that day to the participating schools. This year we were selected to participate at the South Jordan Harmons, 10507 South Redwood Road. So grab your grocery list and invite all your friends, and come visit us at Harmons. At 5 pm, they will be having the annual Principal’s Bagging Contest and our very own Mr. Anderson is the current reigning champion. Come cheer him on as he competes to keep his title! There will also be cookie decorating and fun games for the kids.

We are still in need of 5 volunteers to help us out at Harmons PTA Day. We need 2 people to help with the 3-5 pm shift, and 3 people to help with the 5-7 pm shift. We need one person to bag groceries (no prior experience needed) and 2 people to help in the cookie decorating booth. You must be over 18, and no children are permitted to be accompany you. A lunch or dinner is provided to all who volunteer. If you can help us out, send me an email at lisa@zupancic.net. Thanks!

Also, we will be having our second semester “Bring your Parent to School” day on Friday, February 24. If you would like to eat a school lunch with your child that day please let us know ASAP. Our cafeteria staff wants to make sure that there is enough food for everyone, so please email vicki.stoddard@jordan.k12.ut.us if you are planning on purchasing a school lunch.

Thanks for all your support,
Lisa Zupancic

Volunteers Needed

Oquirrh Hills Parents,

As the PTSA board for the 2011-2012 school year we want to introduce to you the PTA Three for Me program.  This program encourages parents to pledge to volunteer in the school for a minimum of 3 hours during the school year.  By making the three for me promise and dedicating 3 hours to the school over the course of the school year, you can strengthen the partnership between home and school for your child's benefit.

The PTSA is involved in many activities throughout the year. We need your help to facilitate these events and opportunities. We ask EVERYONE to donate 3 hours of your time during this school year to help Oquirrh Hills Middle School continue to be a great place for our children to be!

Please let us know where you would like to help by clicking on and filling out the Volunteer Form below.





Thank you!

Reflections and Volunteers

This year the theme for Reflections is "Diversity means...".  All entries at OHMS are due October 14th.  For more information and entry forms please check the Utah PTA site.


We are looking for volunteers for Reality Town and the book fair. 


Ninth graders participate in Reality Town after being taught about basic finances - income, budgeting, expenses etc.  In the weeks before Reality Town they will receive a pretend career, income, family etc.  That day volunteers staff the bank, grocery store, pet store etc. and the students see how well they do with their given circumstances. 


The book fair happens the week of parent, teacher, student conferences.  Help is needed to set it up, close it down and staff it during the week.


If you are interested in volunteering please contact our PTSA President, Lisa Zupancic at  lisa@zupancic.net

Volunteers

We have a reminder for volunteers. Don't forget to get finger printed and get a background check if you will have unsupervised access to students or it has been requested of you by the Principal Anderson. You can have that done at the Jordan School District offices at 7387 Campus View Dr in West Jordan.
