Icons & Idols
Gala/Party for PTA Texas Congress / Oak Forest ElementaryFeb 24, 2024 from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM
We’re looking forward to an ICONIC evening with our Oak Forest Elementary community at the Omni Houston Hotel on Saturday, February 24, 2024 from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m.!
The money raised from Auction is critical for our school – it provides funding for the special programs and supplemental grants that our PTA sponsors, beyond the school’s budget from HISD. Examples of programs that are paid for with these funds include the Ready to Grow garden program, Writers in the School (WITS), teacher grant requests (e.g., book clubs, comprehension kits, manipulatives, flexible seating, Handwriting Without Tears, etc.), professional development, teacher appreciation, and so much more. In addition, special projects have been supported, such as an outdoor classroom and science lab, instruments and music programming, and new library furniture and books. The supplemental funding provided by our PTA enables the OFE administration to use its budget for teacher and interventionist salaries.
Join us for an evening of adults-only fun, with heavy hors d’oeuvres, drinks, dancing, and late night bites. You never know which of your IDOLS you will run into in our crowd as we gather to celebrate our wonderful school’s 75th anniversary and raise money for our PTA.
