The community brought in 147lbs of pop tabs, which made $56 for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central and Northern Arizona! This was the last year Oak Creek School PTO collected pop tabs.

I want to highlight the Archery Club and the volunteers who help. Our kids know how to safely and respectfully handle the equipment in this club because of our community members and leaders.
We are so blessed we have such a great community. Our donors this year 1st is LISA they have asked "What can we do to help? They are even helping another school with their Archery program right now too. Sedona Schools donated gear which we are using at OC School. 7 Genesis compound bows, four Rinehart targets, Rim Country Archers president Steve Dockery personally went over each bow. They did any repairs needed and several members have donated money and building skills to make target stands.
Mr Day teaches the kids to be part of a team support each other and show respect for each other. Most importantly to have a safe but fun time shooting Archery. Our students in Archery learn leadership through respect.
Way to go!! OCS Archery.

232 Oak Creek School students were able to pick out a book of their choice from the Scholastic Book Fair thanks to donations and grants given to Low Income Student Aid, Inc.! Every book fair purchase helps the school library get more books, so we consider this a double win!!

The Blah Blah Blah game Oak Creek School PTO purchased for Ms. Borden was a hit this week! Think Uno but with words, the kids are reading and breaking down words into individual sounds. This set of cards includes three levels of play allowing Ms. Borden to use it with many different groups of kids.
