Ongoing Committees

 


These committees have activities throughout the year

  • This committee exists as a parent resource to answer general questions about allergies present in the school. Also can be used as a resource for PTA events to make sure they are allergy aware in planning their activity.


  • Volunteers are needed to maintain and improve our school garden. Included would be to organize and facilitate fall and spring clean-up at Oak Ridge, in addition to any as needed maintenance of the garden.

  • This committee works to welcome the new kindergarten families to Oak Ridge.  The chair makes sure that families are informed about PTA activities and events. Help organize and distribute the welcome bags to Kindergarten students at the beginning of the school year.


  • Sorts lost and found items on a regular basis and donates unclaimed items. Posts pictures of the lost and found periodically.


  • Volunteers make hot chocolate in the school kitchen for the outdoor Safety Patrol on mornings when the wind-chill factor is below 32°F.  This occurs during 3 months of the school year only.

  • Oak Ridge wear is a fun way to show your school spirit.  This committee sells T-shirts, sweatshirts and other spirit wear as determined by the committee for both kids and adults. Organizing, communicating and distributing spirit wear items would be up to those individuals in the committee.
