Zoom-a-thon Videos

Thanks to all the parents who were able to attend this year's Parents' Night on August 30th. Those lucky parents were the first to get a taste of what this year's Zoom-a-thon is all about. We hope you enjoyed it and were a bit enlightened about what the Zoom-a-thon is all about. It really is a terrific fundraiser that allows students to learn, have fun, and help raise money for the school in a way that gets them up and moving.

The students will get their first taste of the Zoom-a-thon videos with a remixed Kids Variation of the Parents' Night video on Wednesday, September 12th. The PTO President's part will be removed from the original video and replaced with a special segment that includes two of our OMIS 4th graders and 4 of our OMIS 5th graders, as well as different video ending. Our 5th graders are pulled into our Zoom-a-thon plot line this year, acting as our Z Force Alpha Squad.

This first students' video will help get them psyched for the Zoom-a-thon Kick-off Pep Rally the afternoon of Friday, September 14th. At the Pep Rally, students will get a better idea of the concept of Zoom-a-thon, the potential prizes that can be earned, as well as just generally having a great time.

Additional videos will be aired for the students at the Pep Rally and on 9/17, 9/19, 9/21, 9/25, and the final episode on 9/27, the day before the Zoom-a-thon Run itself. All episodes will help to bolster and support OMIS's overall academic goals for the year in a way that is fun and entertaining for the students.

The Zoom-a-thon is OMIS's biggest and main fundraiser of the year. When we do a great job supporting this fundraiser, we don't have to worry about other major fundraisers like selling wrapping paper or cookie dough, etc. This fundraising helps fill in the gaps to provide needed people and things to keep OMIS functioning as it should. Assistants in the science lab, books for the library, equipment for the gym, and even such mundane, but totally needed, items as wax for the floors and toilet paper and paper towels for the bathrooms.

Can we count on your support for the Zoom-a-thon?
