Orange Avenue School PTA

Helping Hands Coordinator — This chairperson acts as a liaison to OAS families that need help in any way. Given that we have a number of OAS families impacted by Ida, this is a position we’d like to fill ASAP.

Picture Day Chair — We already have a main chairperson for 2021, but she will be stepping down after this year. We are looking for 2 people to help assist her this year, in the hopes that they take over the position for 2022. Picture day will be held on 9/24/21.

Reflections Art Program — Held in the fall, this chair will advertise, and coordinate submissions of PTA sponsored art competition

Scholastic Book Fair — Held in November, this chair will order materials, organize the schedule and advertise the Book Fair. Along with a team of volunteers they will set up & breakdown the fair and assist students in purchasing books.

Holiday Boutique — Held in December, this chair will purchase items to be included in the boutique, set up a classroom schedule, and advertise the sale. Along with a team of volunteers they will set up & clean up the sale.

If you are interested in volunteering to chair these events, or have any questions, please email Liz Rivera (elizabeth.m.rivera@gmail.com) and Jessica Kelly (jessicasnyder14@hotmail.com).

Please help us reach 100% participation!

Thanks to your donations and support of our fundraisers, six new water filtration units, two new bike racks, and a desk for the lobby have been ordered for OAS and a new scoreboard has been installed in the gym. PTA funds also provided teacher mini grants, cash for class, student social events, and the wonderful assemblies our children have seen this year, which include Fairleigh Dickinson University’s “Possibilities”, Music Technology with Brent Daniels, Author and Illustrator Victoria Jamieson, and Bullies to Buddies with Brooks Gibbs.

We also plan to plant flowers and build a stone border around the new Orange Avenue School sign in the fall. If you have the expertise to help with this project, please contact us at pta_oas@cranfordschools.org.
