By contributing to our events and fundraisers, you are supporting programs that would not otherwise be at our school... and we THANK YOU for that!
All the money raised by the OISPA is used to fund events and activities throughout the school year, purchase equipment, and fund ideas that enrich the school environment. In the last ten years, we have funded over 2,900,000 NOK of projects and requests.
Activities and events funded in 2023-24 included May 16th Celebrations, Waffle Day, Trunk or Treat, Service Learning Projects, Festival Fair, Sports Day, etc.
Below is a list of the projects, equipment and ideas we have supported in past years.
