WHAT IS OPC?

The Oakridge Parents’ Club (widely known as OPC) assists the administration, faculty, staff and Board of Regents

in providing for the educational enrichment of the students; promotes the fellowship of the families and staff of

the Oakridge School and raises funds to accomplish these objectives. OPC is a community of caring parents

that is organized similarly to PTA’s in other schools.

In the area of Educational Enrichment, OPC hosts a variety of fun events that add to your child’s experience at

Oakridge. Many of our students look forward to these special and memorable events. They include:

Classroom Parties for the ECC (Early Childhood Center) and LS (Lower School)

Owlfest (Oakridge’s Fall Festival)

Holiday Treasures Gift Shop (a service that OPC provides in December to help students shop for holiday gifts

for their loved ones)

Student Socials such as Dessert Parties, special luncheons and other social events for MS (Middle School) and

US (Upper School)

Test Snacks (a snack break that is provided between final exams to give the students time to re-energize and

re-fuel)

After Prom (a safe and fun event held at Alleycats for US students after the Prom)

In the area of Fellowship of Families and Staff:

Back to School Fair (an event that helps provide families with an opportunity to get their “Back to School”

business done)

Meet & Greet (a 1st Day of School breakfast and welcome back that allows families to mingle, reconnect,

learn about and sign up for various volunteer opportunities)

Faculty and Staff Appreciation Luncheons (quarterly luncheons provided for teachers and staff)

Connecting Owls (an event that offers all new parents and parents of an ECC child to connect with other

Owl families in a fun and informal setting)

In the area of Fundraising:

Membership Dues (your membership provides financial support for OPC events and activities)

Magazine Sales (our largest 3 week long fundraiser that is held in the beginning of the school year)

Book Fair (your purchases allow us to raise funds to fill our library shelves with a variety of books for all reading

levels)

Uniform Resale (provides our families with an opportunity to purchase gently used uniforms)

Box Tops Collection (clipping and saving Box Tops helps earn free money for Oakridge)

OakridgePages.com (a new business directory that allows the Oakridge Community to share, support and

connect with one another)

TEACHER APPRECIATION LUNCHEON

Page 6

We welcomed back our faculty and staff with our first luncheon on Monday, August 18th. Everyone was treated to a tasty fajita lunch

catered by Nuevo Leon. Dessert was provided by Kathy’s Icing on the Cake.

I want to thank Christine DiFilippo, Kristy Kundysek, Melissa Jiles, Audrey Stehr, Leslie LeMond and Lori Jones for taking time out of their

busy week to help serve and clean up. Also, a BIG thank you to Dennis Brown and Lara Haddock for helping with the raffle items we

provided for the staff.

Faculty and Staff Recognition is a great way to be involved with OPC. We need volunteers to bring food items, help set-up, serve and

clean up. It takes a LOT of food to feed 155 hungry faculty and staff members. Go to the OPC Volunteer Page and sign-up to help.

The Faculty and Staff Luncheons are a great way support our fabulous teachers and staff, spend time with other Oakridge parent’s

and spend a few moments with your child during their busy day. We have three more luncheons this school year: November 13 th,

February 5th and April 16th.

Feel free to contact me with any questions and I look forward to seeing you all around the campus.

NEW PARENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

NEW PARENT AMBASSADOR CONTACT LIST

For those of you who are not aware, The Oakridge Parents’ Club now provides a Parent Ambassador Program to

aid new families with guidance and assistance during their first year at Oakridge. Parent Ambassadors are simply

experienced Oakridge parents who have volunteered to help incoming families get adjusted to their new

school. Each family new to The Oakridge School has been partnered with an Ambassador that has children in the

same school division and even grade level as theirs. The Parent Ambassadors have been busy over the summer,

reaching out to our new families. They attended the New Parent Dinner (pictured below) and they have been

available to answer any questions for new families as we begin the new school year. If you are interested in

volunteering to be a Parent Ambassador for the 2015/2016 school year please contact Susan Daniels at

817.797.5076 or [email protected].

BACK TO SCHOOL FAIR & PICNIC

Page 8

OPC was proud to host the Back to School Fair again this year in conjunction with the Family Picnic on Saturday, August

16. The Fair was held in the MAC from 9:30-12:00 and offered numerous opportunities for parents to streamline their

back to school tasks. From shopping for gently used uniforms to joining OPC to turning in medical and bus transporta-

tion forms, we hope parents left campus that day feeling like their families were fully prepared to begin school on day

one. Other areas at the Fair included Box Tops turn-in, Community Partners, Extended Day Programs, Food 4 Life,

OakridgePages.com, Owl Club Membership and Spirit Store, Parent Ambassadors, School Supplies, and Volunteer Reg-

istration.

Sincerest appreciation goes out to Deme Cleveland, Chair Elect, who was invaluable in the planning and implementa-

tion of the Fair. Thank you to all of the volunteers who gave so generously of their time during the Fair: Denise Barley,

Shelley Brandt, Dennis Brown, Angela Cary, Stephanie Choudhry, Susan Daniels, Michelle Emmert, Holly Fagan, Lara

Haddock, Jill Houseworth, Kristy Kundysek, Larraine LaRovere, Fran Lyons, Ronda Lane, Lauren Matocha, Jennifer

O’Connor, Stephanie Pham, Michelle Reese, Jennifer Tompkins, Victoria Walker, Denise White, Linda Wright, and

Shawna and Jeremy Wright. An additional thank you to the Development Team of Michele Cole, Kelli Lambert, Alisa

Hunter, and Teri Foster for their support and assistance.

The goal of the Back to School Fair is to be your one stop shop, and we hope it was just that!

MEET & GREET

Page 10

This year's annual Meet and Greet was held on the first morning of

school in the library. We warmly welcomed new families to the school

and enjoyed catching up with old friends about the lazy days of

summer and the excitement of a new school year. The Meet and

Greet showcased the many wonderful events that occur throughout

the school year, as well as the numerous volunteer opportunities

available for each event. With the chairs from each event available

to provide a small glimpse into their special day(s) and to answer any

questions, this was the perfect time to sign up for the many

opportunities to become involved at Oakridge. Judging from the

smiles and laughter that morning, a good time was had by all.

US 1st DAY OF SNACKS

Page 11

The first day of school for the Upper School started off with on a sweet note! Upper school students enjoyed a morning

snack of fresh fruits, kolaches, muffins, breakfast bars and donuts as they made their way to their first day of classes. Many

Oakridge parents helped welcome the students back with snacks and drinks. Thank you parents for your donation and

time! With your help, the 2014-2015 school year started off with a blast! If you are interested in participating with other

Upper School events, please go to the OPC website and sign up for Upper School Activities! Our next function is a Fall Des-

the students, faculty, and staff during the year or through major purchases for things around the school.

More information on last year’s allocations can be found on page 3 of the newsletter.

Already have enough magazines? Due to the huge success of the “Kids Helping Kids” Program last year, we have

continued it this year. The purchases from this program went back into the DFW community. We would able to give

the gift of reading to over 60 children in the area. It's a good way to support the school and help someone in need in

the local area.

HOLIDAY TREASURES

Page 15

What is Holiday Treasures you Ask?

Holiday Treasures is an Oakridge Parents Club sponsored event for Oakridge students ECC

thru sixth grade. Preparations for this event begin mid October with the arrival of merchan-

dise that was carefully selected at market in June. Items are checked in, wrapped and dis-

played, transforming The Oakridge Parents Club building into a magical Gift shop.

December 8-12 students arrive by class and are given the opportunity to secretly select gifts

for the the special people in their lives. Amazing volunteers help each student shop, wrap

and bundle up their gifts. Participating in the excitement of the experience and seeing the

pride our students have in themselves after selecting their perfect gifts at Holiday Treasures

truly gets you in the Christmas spirit!

What makes Holiday Treasures a Success? Volunteers! Volunteers are needed as early as

mid October thru our event in December. If you have a little time here and there and

would like to help check in orders or pre wrap gifts, we would love to have you. The majori-

ty of volunteers are needed the week of Holiday Treasures to help the students shop. We

have worked diligently to make volunteering a fun and cheerful experience. If you have a

full day or a half day, all help is appreciated. Last year we were short on volunteers so sign

up and encourage your friends to sign up as well! We look forward to seeing you at Holiday

Treasures.
