OCP Feed the Birds Annual Fund

Dear Current Members, Alumni, Family and Friends of OCP,

We know how special OCP is to all of you, and how it is helping to shape the children you love into the caring, responsible, imaginative, environmentally conscious children this world needs. To kick-off the year, we are launching our annual fund campaign to support several meaningful endeavors for our school. We hope you will participate in helping us to "Feed the Birds"!

WHAT HAVE WE DONE:

As a result of COVID-19, OCP has increased Operating Expenses to cover ways we are keeping our kids and staff safe including:

  • New windows for the building to increase airflow to the classrooms (Thank you Thankful Baptist for contributing to the windows!)
  • Additional filters for our HVAC system
  • Personal Protective Equipment
  • Thermometers for daily checks
  • Outdoor Classrooms
  • Increased cleanings
  • Individual materials for students
In addition, to promote social distancing our classes are designed into pods with no cross-contamination. We have smaller enrollment numbers than usual and therefore less tuition income. We will need to dip into our reserve funds and would like help from our community to replenish those funds that allow us to provide this community to our little ones in the safest way possible.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

In an effort to keep tuition affordable, we fill the gap in our budget through fundraising endeavors, such as our Annual Fund and Pete the Cat race. However, this falls short in providing us the funds to pursue projects outside our budget, such as those stated above, as well as replenishing our reserves. As you can see in this graph below, the majority of our fundraising dollars go right back to our children. This is where we need YOU!


Please consider a one-time donation of $25, $50, $100, $200 or any amount comfortable to you to our Feed the Birds campaign to reach our goal of $20,000. Your donation, no matter the amount, will help us to make continued improvements so that OCP can continue to provide the quality experience for our children and the future children of OCP!

In addition, anyone who donates $25 or more will receive an OCP reusable snack bag.

Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our school!
