The PTO is a group of parents and teachers at OLA. The purpose of the PTO is to promote child growth and development in the home, school, church and the community, and the development of good parent-teacher relationships. We exist solely for the support of our school and children. All the money that we collect is returned to our school for projects and events that may not be available otherwise.
The PTO board meetings are held during the school year on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. The board meets at 6:00 pm in the school cafeteria. Everyone is welcome to attend and share any concerns with the board. The PTO board is always looking for volunteers.
