The PTO sends a weekly newsletter of Community Notes each Sunday evening, separately from PTO Announcements and Principal Announcements. If you wish, you may “opt out” of receiving Community Notes while still receiving announcements from the PTO and Principal.
If you do NOT want to receive Community Notes emails, click here to send an email to admin@oakhillpto.org saying No Community Notes or use the “update your profile” link at the bottom of this email. This will take you off the list for Community Notes, but you will still receive PTO Announcements, as you have in the past. Please DO NOT CLICK ‘UNSUBSCRIBE’ at the bottom of this email unless you want to be removed from ALL PTO mailings, including PTO Announcements. Clicking “Unsubscribe” takes you off of the PTO email list entirely.
We hope you can join us for this fabulous night out. It is a great community event and fundraiser! You get to support our school and children while enjoying fine food and great company.
Here’s how it works:
On the night of Saturday, October 13th at 7:00pm everyone attending the event gets together for one big hors d’oeuvres party. There, you will receive your assignment as to where you will go for your delicious soup and smaller gathering. After dinner we reconvene as a large group for dessert and coffee at a surprise location.
The Appetizer Party is hosted by Becky and Bill Manley
