Volunteers Needed to Install OHS' New Gaga Pit!

It's finally here! Our new gaga pit has arrived! However, similar to other Fairfield schools, parents need to manage the assembly and installation process.

So we need your help! Older children (5th grade or above), are allowed to help as long as their parent is present. Additionally, we have heard it is particularly helpful to have a parent who is a contractor, or exceptionally handy, be available throughout the process.  If this is you, please email Melissa Miller (melissacmiller8@gmail.com)

The OHS Mentorship Program is Back!

Our OHS Mentor/Mentee program is back again this year! Our goal is to pair incoming Kindergarten or new OHS families with veteran families who can help answer any questions and support your family through the school year. Deadline to take part in this special program is September 19th!


New to OHS and have a million questions? Maybe you're a seasoned pro at OHS and want to volunteer your time to help our new families? Please email Eva Elinskas including the grades of your children and any other info that will help us find you a good match.
