Support Our Teachers

On the 1st day of school, please join us as we show support for our teachers by having a red ribbon in the girls' hair, and a red ribbon tied to the boys' backpacks. PTO will have red ribbons around the trees and extra ribbons for people that don't have them. If you see anyone with a handful of ribbons, feel free to ask for one! This is a great way to show our teachers that we support them as they fight for a fair contract.

Onahan PTA is becoming Onahan PTO!

As a PTA, Onahan was giving $4.25 to the National PTA but in turn we were not using any of the National PTA resources. As a PTO, we will be self contained and able to keep your full membership here at Onahan School. We will still be insured as a PTO and will conduct ourselves in the same way as in years past. In reality the vast majority of parent-teacher groups are actually independents rather than formally affiliated PTAs. After much research it has been decided that it is in our best interest and a smart financial choice for our school to make the change.

This coming school year your new membership will also include:
An Onahan PTO Facebook page for exclusive use by members as another form of communication and anawesome yard sign that will show your Onahan pride!!

We are looking forward to a stupendous 2012 -2013 school year filled with wonderful school and family memories!!!
