We are excited to inform you that we are doing the brick fundraiser. Purchase a brick in your child’s name, outgoing 5th grader, dedicate it to your favorite teacher or the school. These will be put right around the Flagpole in front of the school. 

The money collected will also raise funds to help OFRS PTA purchase 3 large tents for the school for outdoor learning and breaks.

Aside from reviewing things we have done thus far, and upcoming plans for the remainder of the school year, this meeting will also be holding important PTA Board elections for the 2021-2022 school year.  See ballot below for your review, prior to the meeting.   We are also looking for volunteers to fill the Treasurer and Fundraising Board positions.  If you are interested, please contact Bindya Madane at president@oldfarmerspta.org.

We hope to see many of you on the Zoom call. 

Did you know that the last cookbook that OFRS PTA published was 18 years ago?  Our 2021 Cookbook, features 60+ recipes from some of our 5th grade students and OFRS staff.  It’s looking like a scrumptious cookbook. 

Pre-orders for the cookbook are required so we know how many to order.  Each book costs $20 and pre-orders need to be completed by March 29, 2021.  

We can’t wait to see all of OFRS’s talent!
