OA Peterson Elementary PTA

🎉 Teachers received a happy little delivery today! 👕 Our school shirts are in the building and ready to make their debut. Be on the lookout—your student will be bringing one home today in their backpack! ✨

Happy National Tooth Fairy Day!

🧚‍♀️ Magical Origins: Did you know the Tooth Fairy has roots in various cultures? In Spain, it's a mouse named "Ratoncito Pérez" who collects teeth! 🐭✨

💸 The Tooth Fairy Economy: The average Tooth Fairy pays between $2 to $5 per tooth in the US, but in some countries, the amount can be as high as $20! How much does the Tooth Fairy leave at your house? 💵🎉

📚 Literary Legend: The Tooth Fairy first appeared in literature in the early 1900s and has since become a beloved figure in children's bedtime stories around the world! 📖✨

🕵️‍♂️ Secret Agent: The Tooth Fairy is known for her stealthy visits—she's a pro at sneaking in and out without waking anyone up! How does she do it? Magic, of course! 🪄🌙

🌟 Tooth Fairy Day: National Tooth Fairy Day is celebrated twice a year—on February 28 and August 22! It’s the perfect excuse to celebrate the magic and fun of losing teeth! 🎉🦷

📣 Membership Contest Update 📣

Don't forget, the GRADE LEVEL with the highest percentage of memberships in August will win a 🍧SNOW CONE🍧 party!

Join PTA now and help your student win: https://www.joinpta.org/

One week from today we will have our first spirit night of the year! Join us on Tuesday 8/27 at 🍕Parry's Pizzeria 🍕from 5-9pm.

BONUS: If you bring in any school supplies Parry's will give you a coupon for a free appetizer on your next visit. All supplies will be donated back to OAP!

We are super bummed to have to announce that, due to some previously unknown state regulations, we have to cancel Popcorn Friday's. 🙁

We will issue refunds to everyone that has prepaid.

We are truly sad, but will find other ways to share the popcorn love this year with our new machine! 🍿

🎀 National Bow Day is tomorrow! 🎀 We’re excited to see all your little ones rocking their favorite hair bows and bow ties. Share your adorable photos with us below! 📸

Share a photo or story of your child's best friend in the comments below.

Let's celebrate the special bonds that make our school community so wonderful! 👧👦

Let's play a game! Can you tell us which one is the myth!?!

1. Joining PTA requires you to Volunteer.
2. PTA memberships never expire.
3. PTA membership is only for moms.
4. You can only be a member of one PTA.
5. Only one person per family can join the PTA.

Let us know in the comments what you think!
