OAK HILL UPDATES
Oak Hill Live & Silent Auction Success!

On behalf of Oak Hill Elementary School, we would like to thank you for your support of the 14th annual Oak Hill live/silent auction to benefit our students.

Together we raised over $42,000 this year as a result of the generous in-kind donations, sponsorship and participation from our Oak Hill Elementary community! The funds raised will be used towards essential educational needs, student assistance, student enrichment/cultural arts, our green school program, technological upgrades, and new walkie talkies for our staff.

A special thank you to our event committees for your tireless efforts in making this event a success!

Auction Committee: Meredith Benoit, Brynn Boiko, Beth Gunzel, Stephanie January, Bethany Kerley, Gabby Magaw, Carla Scott, Li Basagic, Chelsea Harrison

Donations Committee: Becky Trevillian, Jennifer Dooley, Megan Sundberg

Art Project Leads: Melissa Boyle, Kelly Simmons, Elina Greenan, Leslie Gruman, Stephanie January, Katie Dornblaser, Alison Elliott, Susan Crivella

And finally, a big thank you to all of our day of volunteers!

The Oak Hill Talent Show is coming up on Friday, February 24, 2022, but we need a chair to make it happen! Please contact Amanda Rothenbecker at amanda.rothenbecker@gmail.com if you're able to help save this event!

Individual Pictures: Make Up Day, Dec. 15th!

Individual picture make up day is Thursday, December 15th! Any student who was absent on picture day or who ordered pictures and is not happy with their order can have their picture retaken. Please email your teacher to let them know you would like your student to participate in retake day.

Volunteers: We are looking for volunteers to assist the photographers on that day. If available, please contact Krista Nasr at knasr55@gmail.com 

OHES Day: Thursday, December 22nd!

Chick-fil-A in Severna Park is hosting an OHES fundraising day on Thursday, December 22 all day for drive thru and/or delivery orders. When you order please tell your server you are with Oak Hill or add it to the special comments section when ordering online. OHES will earn 15% of our total sales.

Order your meal through the Chick-fil-A app and make your day more delicious.

Lost & Found Clean Out!

Parents PLEASE remember to label your child's belongings. The Lost & Found is overflowing with some extremely nice items and although every effort is made to return those things that are labeled, most show no indication to whom they belong.  The Lost & Found will be cleared out on December 20 and anything unclaimed will be donated to charity.

Lisa's Cake Pops OHES Fundraiser!

From 12/1-12/23, Lisa's Cake Pops will donate a percentage of sales to Oak Hill PTO when you mention you're with the OHES fundraiser. Any purchase qualifies! Be sure to check out their fun and festive holiday cake pop kits!

They will also be holding an in-store fundraiser event for Oak Hill on December 11th from 10am-1pm, so be sure to pop in and pick up your kits or check out their premade flavors. Visit them at 836 Ritchie Highway #16 (behind the bowling alley!)
