PTO NEWS

PTO has been busy preparing community events for our school 

  • Parent Night Out at Sister’s Cider on Thursday, Sept. 28 from 5-7 p.m. Children of all ages are welcome.  A portion of all cider sales during Ordway‘s family night (5-7 p.m.) will be donated to Ordway's PTO, so please come out to support our school at our generous, community-minded Sisters' Cider House.

 

  • Our fundraiser kicked off at Back to School Night. It’s time to go “All in for Otters”, as our Ordway community comes together to support our school, staff and students! With your support, the Ordway PTO funds schoolwide and individual classroom needs. Your contributions support assemblies, field trips, teacher appreciation, classroom grants for materials and supplies, and much more! Don’t forget to get those donations in! https://www.mightycause.com/story/Ordwayotters2023 .Thank you to all those who have already donated - we appreciate you! 


  • 4th graders can join the Climate Club: Smart Climate Club. After school October 12- November 16 organized by PTO parent volunteer Sara Daubenberger. 


Ordway's garden (all except the pumpkins) are ready for harvest! Ordway families are invited to pick tomatoes and vegetables afterschool or on the weekeds -  but keep the pumpkins for classrooms who plan to use them in October.
