Dear OHS Families,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to the holiday this week!

The OHS Turkey Trot Food Drive was a huge success! Thank you to the parents and students for their donations, and thank you to the PTA committee, the parent volunteers, and the 5th grade students for making it all come together. The food drive will help many needy families, and it taught the students some very important lessons. Also, I want to congratulate Ms. Fleming’s class for collecting the most items once again! Some of our classrooms made a valiant effort to beat 4F, but they certainly are tough!

We are two months away from the 2025 Osborn Hill Variety Show! Tickets are $18 and can be purchased in phases on our website next week. 

You do not need to stress about getting tickets this year - we can guarantee every performer's family will be able to buy at least 4 tickets. It is important to please purchase your tickets in the correct phase.

Tickets will go on sale in three rounds:

Round 1: Monday 12/2 -12/3 - Families with a performer in the show can buy up to 4 tickets in Round 1. This includes stage crew, narrators and students just in the fifth grade finale. Performers do not need a ticket but all chaperones (even if they are sitting with the groups) need a ticket. There will be no comped tickets this year. If you were hoping for more than 4 tickets, don’t worry! We are hopeful that there will be a round 3. Tickets will be available through a link in the 12/2 Flash.

Round 2: Wednesday 12/4-12/5 - Families without a performer in the show can buy up to 3 tickets. This round is specifically for our OHS students and chaperones who are not in the show but want to go and cheer on their friends. As this is a school-wide event, we want to make sure any otter interested in attending can get a ticket.

Probable Round 3: Monday 12/9 - If there are enough tickets left for a Round 3, it will be open to everyone. Restrictions may apply and will be detailed after Round 2 is over. 

If you have a problem purchasing tickets in Round 1 please do not stress, just contact the Variety Show Committee. There is no way we will sell out in Round 1. The main reason we moved to the Klein was to increase our audience capacity. We have plenty of tickets and we are confident that everyone that wants to attend will be able to purchase tickets during Rounds 1 and 2.  

Ticket FAQ's:

• Tickets are non-refundable, but they are transferable. In order to transfer, ticket holders will need to coordinate on their own and give the hard copy tickets that they receive at the dress rehearsal to the recipient.
• There are only 4 tickets allowed per performer family in the first round. If you attempt to buy more in the first round, or if you attempt to purchase any in round 2, there is a chance you will not be able to use them and we will not be able to reimburse you.
• If your child is not in the show, please DO NOT purchase tickets in Round 1. We will not be able to reimburse you and your tickets will be invalid. You will need to purchase tickets again in Round 2.
• Every single person that comes to the show needs a ticket. Due to fire codes there is absolutely no lap sitting. 
• Strollers will need to be left in the lobby. 
• The price of tickets includes credit card processing and transaction fees.
• Please do not think it will go unnoticed if you buy more than your allottment per family or if you try to purchase during the wrong round. We watch and account for every single ticket and you will be contacted.

Any other questions? Contact the Variety Show Committee.

• Do you have an incoming kindergartener for the 2025-2026 school year? The office is compiling an email list of incoming KDG students for the Fall of 2025.  Please email school secretary Theresa Budlowski with your future KDG student’s first and last name, date of birth and the preschool they attend so they can be added to the list to receive future information about registration, etc. 

• Please remember to put any absences, tardies or holiday traveling dates into School Dismissal Manager.  For any after school activities your child attends during the school year, please remember you need to update their dismissal plans daily too.  This helps the office and teachers with your child’s dismissal and last minute calls home to verify them.
