OAK HILL UPDATES
 
Get Ready to Place Those Bids!!!

Auction is a go! We have two chairs for the auction - thank you to the parents who stepped up to help out.

Please keep your eyes open for more information and volunteering opportunities - emails will be coming soon. 

1st VP of Fundraising Still Needed

PTO Board is still in need of a 1st Vice-President of Fundraising to help Oak Hill raise money to help the staff, teachers, and students.  Without this position, the amount of things the Board will be able to do will be significantly reduced.

If you love Movie Night, Bedtime Story Night, and all of the other fun activities the PTO puts on, think about joining the board to help raise funds.

This position can be two people so grab a friend and step on up. 

Talent Show: Friday, February 27 at 6 p.m.

The Oak Hill Talent Show is on Friday, February 27th at 6pm in Oak Hill's cafeteria.

 

Mini-rehearsals are February 10, 11, and 12.  Make sure you know the slot for your act's rehearsal. Please check the talent show toolkit for details: https://oakhillespto.membershiptoolkit.com/talentshow_2026 

Tech rehearsal is February 25.

 

Tickets will be on sale soon so keep an eye out for that email.
