Dear Orefield Community,

PTO here. We are writing to share an update regarding our recent Day of Awesomeness and the Technicolor Turkey Trot, as well as to express my deepest gratitude to all of you.

As many of you know, executing large-scale school events requires navigating a variety of moving parts and unexpected logistical changes. Our initial plan was to host the Technicolor Turkey Trot on the school track. However, due to updated district guidelines we were informed that the track was no longer available for this event, and ultimately, that the traditional "Turkey Trot" portion of the day could not take place as originally envisioned.

Faced with these changes, our team immediately shifted gears. We focused on what we could do, working diligently to adapt the schedule and activities so that our students could still enjoy a
memorable experience within the parameters we were given.

While the day may have looked a bit different than initially promised, its success is a direct result of the incredible community surrounding our students. The Day of Awesomeness went off still
having lots of Bounce Houses, inflatables and fun. Followed by Kona and an awesome DJ! Rest assured that 100% of your donations have gone to enriching your students Orefield experience.

We understand there is some frustration regarding the t-shirt sales. The PTO did not organize that project. However, we would be happy to connect you to the responsible party if you have
any questions.

We are learning as we go and next year the Day of Awesomeness will be even better!!

Sincerely,
Orefield PTO

We're excited to bring back our annual Buy One, Get One Free Scholastic Book Fair May 11th through the 15th!

We accept Scholastic eWallet, most major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash.

A quick note on pennies: As you may have heard, the U.S. has halted penny production, and shortages are already affecting availability including what we're able to have on hand at the fair. We'll do our best to make correct change when we can, but if pennies aren't available at the time of purchase, cash transactions will be rounded to the nearest nickel. To keep things simple and speedy, we'd encourage cashless payment whenever possible.

We appreciate your patience and understanding
