The community is invited to attend “Arrive Alive: A Safe Routes to School Forum,” hosted by the Montgomery County Council of Parent Teacher Associations (MCCPTA) and the Montgomery County Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (PBTSAC).
This free event will bring together stakeholders determined to ensure the walking and busing routes for students are safe. Sidewalks, cycling paths, bus stop locations, and parent drop-off loops are all important components of keeping kids safe as they walk and ride to school.

Staff Wish Wall
Eat at Paneraon October 21!
Many of our dedicated staff spend money for supplies out of their own pockets to enhance our
children’s learning experience!
The Wish Wall helps alleviate some of those costs. Thanks to our wonderful OES community, a majority of our Wish Wall requests were taken home at Back to School Night to be fulfilled! We’d like to continue to fulfill as many requests as possible. Please take a moment to look through the lists (links at left) and see if you are able to fulfill a wish or two, not just for your child’s teacher, but also for our amazing support staff.
Once you have purchased the item, make sure to label it with the staff member’s name before sending it in to
school with your child or dropping it off at the office. If you have any questions about an item,
we recommend you contact the staff member who requested it.
