OTA Brownie Troop Recycling Fundraiser

Posted on by
The OTA Brownie Troop has started a recycling fundraiser with One Earth Recycling to help pay for a new drinking fountain/sports bottle filler for the ground floor of our school.  Here is the link to the fundraising page.  The Brownies’ goal is to purchase and install the new drinking fountain in time for the 2014-2015 school year.  This project will cost between $500-$1,000.  OTA families and friends can help by turning in their recycling at any One Earth location and donating the funds to Troop 4152.  Also, starting this week and throughout summer camp, there will be a special recycling bin at OTA where everyone can put their plastic bottles and cans.  The Brownie troop leaders will collect and bring those recyclables into One Earth.

And in addition to the recycling fundraiser, the Brownies are hosting a rummage sale on June 29th at 7:00 a.m.  The location of the sale is 4033 Mt Everest Blvd., San Diego, CA 92111.  Please save the date and plan to come shop at the rummage sale to help pay for our new drinking fountain.  Thank you!

8th Grade Yosemite Trip

Posted on by

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
– Mark Twain

One of the finest examples of outdoor education at OTA is the Yosemite trip the 8th graders participate in.

2014-05-11 17.41.40

It is with great pleasure that our 8th graders are able to experience first hand one of our nation’s greatest treasures, Yosemite National Park. All throughout our carefully crated experiences, we hoped that each student would gain insight on a few things:

  • Create culinary delights with limited resources
  • Persevere through a variety of perceived physical and mental boundaries.
  • Find inspiration in the natural world through temporary art a’la Andrew Goldsworthy.
  • Gain more understanding for how and why we need to preserve our natural spaces.

Yearbook Pictures Needed

Posted on by

Screen Shot 2014-05-09 at 11.52.29 AMIt’s that time again, where the end of the school year is rapidly approaching and the Yearbook Committee is hard at work to create a yearbook of memories for your students.

We need photos you have taken during this past school year! They can be photos of any school events- jog a thin, field trips, Halloween parade, sports days, art projects, class parties, Grandparents Day, the Gala, etc.  Or any snapshots around campus.  We will have a “relations” page (sibling photos)-maybe the first day of school you took pictures of your kids together.  We will have a “friend” page for buddy photos and of course there will be sports pages.

We can download pictures from the class blogs, but a lot of times parents have great photos that we never see.

Please email photos to: jgabpers@gamil.com

We go to print May 16th! So please submit your photos as soon as possible! The success of the yearbook and your child being represented is greatly influenced by the photos we receive!

Thank you,

The Yearbook Committee
