Hoot for the Moon and Level Up at OGA!

---

Last year, we decided to turn our annual fundraiser into something special that OGA did together – without the help of a fundraiser company – and our Parliament understood the assignment! With the generous donations of our OGA community, we surpassed our goal of $30,000 and kept going! 

Using Givebacks Crowdfunding, we were able to keep most of what was donated, and we used it for Teacher Grants (just about every one of them!) and helping our teachers relocate their classrooms, AV equipment, 3D printers and Teacher Appreciation Week. We assisted with the cost of Field Day, and helped the students celebrate their hard work in securing those funds. 

Prize levels for collecting donations were focused on fun experiences. The classes with the highest dollar-per-student average were given extra special classroom rewards.

With that success and experience in our back pocket, we've decided to give it another go. This year, we've got a slate of new prize level experiences that will happen on October 3rd. Mr. Maguire is such a good sport that we've got fresh cans of color hair spray, and new dance moves for him to show off. 

You can donate any time between now and September 30th, but the real fun starts September 25th, and watch for volunteer sign-ups. We love it when Parliament Parents get involved, and we'll need your help to make this an OWL-some week!
