📢 Olson Park Elementary Families

💔 Our hearts are truly heavy with the news that Olson Park may be facing closure as soon as next school year. This is heartbreaking for all of us because our school is more than just a building — it’s a community, a home, and a place where our children learn, grow, and feel safe.
Now more than ever, we need to stand together and be present.

👉 Please make it a priority to attend the upcoming meetings.
Your voice, your questions, and your presence matter more than you know. The future of our school depends on us now.

👉 We are also asking everyone to fill out this important survey.
Every response helps show how essential Olson Park is to our students, our families, and our neighborhood.

💛 This is the moment to show that Olson Park matters.

That our children matter.

And that our community is willing to fight for what we love.

Thank you for standing with us. Together, we are stronger. 🙏💛

💔Parents at Olson Park PTA wanted to make a statement regarding the news for the proposal to restructure grade schools and shut down Olson Park💔

This message is coming from PTA parents, not from school staff or the district.

Our district is considering significant changes that includes closing two, well established schools and shifting to a grade-center model where students would move to a new school every TWOyears.

As parents, it’s important that we speak up about how these changes will impact our children, our families, and our community. The school board will be voting on December 15th, so please make your voice heard before then and at that meeting.

According to the superintendent office manager Pam Cook, the meetings to attend and speak at will be held on
December 1st & 2nd 5pm at Harlem High School and the December 3rd meeting will be at 6pm at the Admission office 8605 N. 2nd Street

Please come in your OP gear! Come show your support and sit together! If you wish to speak up, please do so!! We need to be heard!

WE NEED YOUR VOICE !

🎉 A huge shout-out to our amazing (and unbelievably cool) principal! 🎉

We joke around, but seriously… it takes a special kind of person to handle the wild ideas, last-minute surprises, and shenanigans we dream up for the kids and she does it all with the biggest smile. 😄💛

All jokes aside, we’re so grateful for her heart, her patience, and her willingness to jump into anything if it means making school a happier place for our students. She’s the definition of a good sport, and we’re lucky to have her leading our school family. 🙌✨

Thank you for everything you do — even when we make your job just a little too interesting. 😅💛
