like. Ms. Croy and Mr. Herring are encouraging this behavior with a
handshake for each student at the end of class. Students are also working
on cooperation skills, movement concepts, fitness components, and evaluating
fitness levels through Fitness testing. As we approach the last four
weeks of the quarter, all classes will be working on Throwing/Catching and
Fitness/Nutrition. To get a sneak peek in to our classroom, find us on
Twitter at @OakHill_PE.

PTA Membership information
Thanks to those of you
who have already pledged and became PTA members. We have increased our
membership to 43% of our families but still have a long way to go.
Unfortunately, unless we increase it further we will have to cut GRACE Arts and
Cultural Assemblies for 2018-2019. We have prioritized Staff Development
Assistance so we can have quality instruction when staff professional
development occurs. Unfortunately, we have to currently cut Teaching Garden and
Local Field Trip Transportation costs. We need many more members to restore
these and ensure we fully fund our budget needs while keeping with our "No
Fundraising" promise.
We have 620+ wonderful
families at Oak Hill and we hope to get 100% memberships to continue to reduce
prices year-over-year while maintaining the no-fundraising promise. We invite
you to get involved - It's fun and it helps everyone!
Please take a couple of
minutes to register through our website and use the code:
W7TNKV to Join the school. Pledge is $65 for one child, $80 for 2+
students.
Membership has benefits
=> Early bird registration to afterschool programs and clubs, free
directory, and pay $25 less for each of the registered programs/clubs.
On Fridays we will host
"Membership Fridays" to discuss any questions and invite people to
signup for PTA. This coming Friday we will have US Arts and Bach to Rock
to discuss their programs, too. Come and join us!
