SAVE-THE-DATE: HEART HEALTHY CARDIAC SCREENING FOR OSO GRIZZLIES & THEIR FAMILIES– FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH! On Fri, Feb 7th, we’ll be hosting a Cardiac Screening for Oso Grizzlies & their families in the MPR from 4:00-8:00pm.  In connection with Heartfelt Cardiac Projects, we’ll be offering cardiac screenings for a fee of $85 per person, ages 5 and up.  The echocardiogram (ECHO) and electrocardiogram (EKG) are the best tools for detection of the risks of sudden cardiac death.  These tests typically cost $1,500 and are not covered by insurance.

LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE HOLIDAY GIFT?!–DONATE A BOOK VIA CELEBRATION BOOK CLUB! Join the Celebration Book Club!  You can dedicate a book to your special Grizzly for any reason (birthdays, holidays, half-birthdays, just because!) with your donation of $20.  Students may select the book which will include your dedication on the inside cover, they will be recognized in front of their peers, & the book will live in our Oso Grande Library!  Available at www.osograndepta.com.  Thank you!

SHOP AND SUPPORT OSO GRANDE AT THE SAME TIME!  Do your normal, everyday shopping AND give back to Oso Grande at the same time—you’re already shopping, why not participate?  Through Box Tops, AmazonSmile, and even special gifts through Charleston Wrap year-round!  Check out www.osograndepta.com under Give Back Programs, to learn more!

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL & JOIN PTA! Showing your support for our Grizzlies can happen in many ways, but did you know becoming a member of our Oso Grande PTA is another way?  Your membership donation not only supports National PTA, but a larger portion goes directly to help our school. It takes roughly $200 per student to provide these awesome programs for our Grizzlies throughout the year.  Help out by donating with your membership! It’s easy to join online at www.osograndepta.com.  Thank you for your support!
