Together We're Better certificates

If you've been around OLS for a while, you've probably heard about the Together We're Better gift card program. If you're new to our community, the program is simple: families can purchase gift cards to their favorite local or online retailers in amounts from $5-$100. The school earns between 1.5% and 13% on each dollar spent on the gift cards. With over 500 retailers included in this program, there is something for everyone!



Purchasing TWBs has never been easier. By setting up an online account, you can purchase your gift cards from your computer or smart phone; the funds are quickly available, so you can shop and earn funds for our school without delay. Visit www.ShopWithScrip.com and follow these instructions to create your account:

 Online payments for TWBs are done through Prestopay. Check out the following graphic for details on how to start using Prestopay:

Welcome to the new school year!

The 2016-17 school year is fully underway at OLS! Last Wednesday, we welcomed our 1st-8th grade students, and this week our youngest students join in the fun. Our kindergarten families had a special open house and pizza lunch yesterday to get acquainted. They start school today, and though there might be a few tears, we know they will quickly adjust to life in kindergarten.


This year's kindergarten students: the OLS class of 2025!


Our preschool students also started this week! We are delighted to welcome the youngest members of our school community and watch them grow and develop throughout the school year. Here's to a terrific 2016-17!
