School Supplies for 2021-2022 School Year! We are excited to launch our School Supply Kit service for the 2021-2022 school year! This year, this service is provided by the PTA as a convenience to you - this is not a fundraiser for the PTA. The deadline to order is June 15. Also, please note that they will be mailing kits to your home once again, given that we do not know how Open House will look this August. Please contact secretary@oakwoodpta.org with any questions.
