The
purpose of OCMS PTO is to promote the education and welfare of the
students in our school. To this end, the PTO takes a very active role
in the enrichment activities of the school, while encouraging a
feeling of community spirit among students, staff, and parents. The
PTO organizes and mobilizes parents, school and community members so
that they can make important and valuable contributions to our school
community. Funds to support all PTO-sponsored programs and purchases
are generated through membership dues and through parent-coordinated
fundraisers.
