What's New?
Staff Appreciation Week is May 6 - 10!
Staff Appreciation Week is coming up on May 6th-10th! We need your help to say thanks to our amazing OV staff and show how much we appreciate all they do! Let's treat them right this week (and every week!). Here's what you can do:
1. Tell the Staff you Appreciate Them! We know how much they do - let them know we see it!! Have your child make and give a note of thanks or draw a picture for their teacher. Don't forget all the admin staff, classroom help and other staff that make Olympic View so awesome! Ask your child who makes their day great! And of course, now's your chance to send a note to your child's teacher, or other staff who make your life easier, too.
2. Stock the Snack Shelf til Summer! Everyone loves snacks! Let's stock the Staff Snack Shelf in the Lounge. This Amazon Wishlist has some of the staff favorites on it! CLICK FOR WISHLIST
3. Reset the Staff Lounge on Friday May 3rd! We will be spring cleaning the staff lounge on Friday May 3rd after school and we could use YOUR help to freshen up the place. Won't take long and will be much appreciated by the staff!
4. Coffee and Lunch All This Week - Find your student's grade and sign up! Like always, the OV Community hosts lunch every day of Staff Appreciation week. Each grade is assigned a day. Don't want to cook? Sign up to bring drinks, bring in a store-bought food, or sign up to help set up. Check out all the links below or go to www.ovpta.org. Thanks!!

OVPTA seeks the future of PTA Leadership!! We're sad to see a lot of our current volunteers graduating soon - are you ready to step in and give back to OV by joining the PTA Board? We want to ensure that all your favorite OV activities continue on!
Volunteering on the PTA Board is a great way to get to know your OV community and be a part of making OV the amazing place we love so much!! Our Board meets monthly and is supportive and friendly!! We can usually arrange childcare so you can attend a meeting, and we usually offer a virtual meeting option, if you just can't make it in person. We want to make it easy to be a part of the Board - so let us know what you need!
Please join us for a casual get-together on Wednesday, May 1st 6:30pm at Growler Guys on Lake City Way. Anyone who is considering a PTA Board position next year can come and hang out and ask questions of the current Board members. We hope to see you there! Feel free to RSVP to president@ovpta.org or just show up.
We're looking to fill the following Board positions: Co-President, Co-Treasurer, Co-Fundraising Director, Co-Activities Director, and Co-Enrichment Director. Click here to see what positions you can help with! If you have any questions, please reach out to Andrea and Chad at president@ovpta.org and we're happy to chat!

Art Committee Wants Your Opinion!
Have you heard about Olympic View Elementary’s exciting proposal to create land acknowledgment art work in the cafeteria? The proposed
artwork will honor the Duwamish People (dxʷdəwʔabš), Muckleshoot Nation
(bəqəlšuł) , Snoqualmie Nation (sdukʷalbixʷ), and Suquamish Nation
(xʷsəq̓ʷəb) whose ancestral lands our school occupies.
We want your feedback!
Learn more about the proposal and help us shape this project by sharing your thoughts in our brief feedback poll: Land Acknowledgement Art Project
OVPTA Surplus Grants for 2023-2024!
Last chance to apply for a mini-grant this year - deadline for proposals is April 30th! Let’s get those last ideas funded! You can find more details and fill out your proposal here: Surplus Grants.
The PTA Board will vote on final proposals submitted in April during
our May Board meeting and then we'll be closing the books on grants for
the year! Please email president@ovpta.org with questions or if you’d like to submit your proposal via paper form.
Survey re PTA Purchasing School Supplies: Do you want the PTA to purchase First Day of School Supplies again this fall? Or would you rather do your own shopping? Please respond to this short survey to let us know what you think. Have more to say on the topic? Email president@ovpta.org.
Olympic View Volunteer Awards
We can't do anything without your help and WE THANK YOU! Each year the
PTA is honored to recognize those outstanding volunteers who
consistently go above and beyond on behalf of Olympic View and our
students! We are currently seeking nominations for this year's Volunteer
Awards. Follow this link to submit your nomination. The awards will be presented at the Volunteer Recognition Assembly on June 6th at 8:00am.
Show your Eagle Spirit!! Buy Spirit Wear
We believe that OV gear builds community pride and every student should be able to show their spirit, so we have priced
these shirts as low as possible. This is not intended to be a PTA
fundraiser, but if we receive any money from these campaigns, we will
purchase shirts to distribute to students who may not be able to afford
them. Click here or the Donate and Buy Tab.
