No Fuss Fundraiser

Hopefully by now, most of you have heard about the "No Fuss Fundraiser" - this is our big fundraiser outside of Scrip for this year so we hope you will participate. For those who have seen the school, we have a lot of space to fill!

Please take a moment to see if you are able to contribute. A form is due from each family by JULY 1ST, even if you are unable to donate at this time. There are three ways to turn in your family's form:

• Drop it off up at the school on 6/14, 6/16, 6/21 or 6/23 from 11:30 to 12:30 PM
• Email it to friendsofoasisacademy@gmail.com
• Mail it to Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. PO Box 6322, Fallon, NV 89407

The Friends of Oasis Academy, Inc. No Fuss Fundraiser
Donation Form

Many parents are tired of selling wrapping paper, cookie dough, magazines, etc. and would like to avoid pressure to stretch orders to reach a prize level. Direct contribution fundraisers allow 100% of the funds we receive to benefit our students. This method of fundraising is only successful if parents contribute generously and we hope you will!

We are asking each family to contribute to the No Fuss Fundraiser at a level with which they feel comfortable. Not making a donation will in no way affect your enrollment. This is a free public school but we would appreciate any help you can give us with our initial costs. Please make checks payable to Friends of Oasis Academy.

Because I don’t have the time or energy to rearrange my closets to store all that wrapping paper, we will donate

Enrollment Update - 4/27/11

From the OA Board Meeting last night:

April 27, 2011

Due to the fact that interest in the school has far exceeded initial expectations, the Oasis Academy Board of Directors is qualifying enrollment guidelines.

1. Preference will be give to siblings, but no more than ten (10) students in any one grade level will be bumped.

2. If you enroll siblings and decide to un-enroll one of your children on or before the first day of school any other child whose enrollment was the result of a bump, will also be un-enrolled; for example, if you enroll an eighth grader and a first grader and before, or on, the first day of school you un-enroll your eighth grader, your first grader will also be un-enrolled if they bumped another student.


Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
