Welcome
The Oak Grove Elementary School PTA is a community of parents and staff that was established to support the students, teachers and staff of OGES. We invite you to join us this upcoming school year.
OGES PTA is proud to be named a School of Excellence by the National PTA!
Attention 3rd-5th graders! Would you like to see your artwork on the cover of the yearbook? Enter the cover contest through November 5th! This year's theme is "Rounding the Bases to Success". Designs should be colorful, fill the entire space, be spelled correctly, include the baseball theme and some otters! Students may request a cover template from their teacher.
We're continuing the push for carpool safety with our petition to reduce the school zone speed limit to 25 mph and fighting for Oak Grove to have our own School Resource Officer to help direct traffic. The petition will remain open until December 31. We'd appreciate your support by signing and sharing the link! The more signatures, the better the outcome of keeping our Otters safe during arrival and dismissal.
This year, Oak Grove Elementary is participating in the Game Changer Program, a partnership with the NC Courage to celebrate students who exhibit good behavior, a strong work ethic and leadership skills in the classroom. Every teacher at OGES will be nominating two students to be recognized at the November 1 Courage game at Wake Med Soccer Park.
ALL Oak Grove students will receive a FREE ticket to game! If you have more than one OGES student, please email Makenzie Felicia to order your tickets. A portion of each ticket purchased supports Oak Grove Elementary.
Nominated students will receive:
Free t-shirt
Game Changer Certificate
On screen recognition
Participate in the on field parade
In honor of Educator Appreciation Night, teachers will receive:
Discounted tickets for section 101. *If you'd liked to sit in the Oak Grove section, email Makenzie Felicia.
$20 Courage Cash to use for concessions or merchandise when purchased through the link

This game is projected to sell out!
