THANKS so much to the donors, students, parents, parent volunteers, & teachers for making our Fall Fundraiser & Patriot Color Run put on through MyBooster.com! Our kids had a great time today & we raised a lot of funds to be used for the fun stuff we do at OCMS!
Our donor page ( at MyBooster.com) will be open for the next few days if you missed out on helping. We met our goal of $5,000 resulting in sliming Mrs. Casper. Mr. Baldwin can still get turned into a human ice cream sundae if we get to $8,000 before the window closes.
