REMINDER: First Day of School Supplies 2023 - $$ DONATIONS STILL NEEDED!
If you are able, please reimburse the OVPTA for your student's first day
of school supplies. The PTA is hoping to recoup some of the cost of
purchasing all the supplies of the summer, and we're still short of our
expected donations. Donate HERE, click the Donate and Buy Tab, or you can put cash or check into an envelope for OVPTA and give it to the OV Front Desk. THANK YOU!
OVPTA Seeks Sponsors
Do you own a business (or know of one) that would like to have their
logo on our website, our newsletter, displayed on banners at the school
during community events and, everybody’s favorite– prime advertising on
the back of the Move-a-thon t-shirt that all OV kids wear around town!
Sponsorship is a key component to meeting our fundraising goals and
sponsorship levels start as low as $250. Reach out to president@ovpta.org if you want more information. Thanks!

Are you interested in joining an OV Ski Bus? No skiing experience necessary. We are considering starting a Ski Bus for OV students, however are trying
to figure out if there will be enough interest. Ski Bus would run for 6
Thursday afternoons in January and February. The program includes a
coach bus trip departing from OV, going to the Summit at Snoqualmie for a
2.5 hour small-group lesson, and then returning to OV by about 8pm. The
lessons are run by the very experienced Snow Sports Consulting Service
out of Bellevue (https://www.snowsportsconsultingservice.com/).
The cost of the 6 lessons and bus transportation is $575/student. There
will be a limited number of scholarships available. If you are at all
interested, please complete the following interest form (this is not a registration form! we are just seeking interest!). You can also reach out to Krista Birnie (krista.birnie@gmail.com) with questions.
Direct Ask 2023: Our community works hard to make sure our students and staff have what they
need to be successful, and we need your continued support as we
navigate through our school year routines post(ish) pandemic.Throughout the year, the Olympic View PTA (OVPTA) spends about $200 per child to
help fund OV and the many programs and events that are offered. The 2023
Flying Forward Fund goal is to raise $20,000. Please Click here or go to the Donate and Buy tab, or return cash or check in the blue envelopes that went home in Kidmail.

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.

Come out with your fellow eagles and cheer on professional Women’s Soccer team, the OL Reign as they play their last home game of the season on October 6th at 5pm at Lumen field.
