It’s that time of year again, the OETA Games
have arrived! After last year’s successful
games raised money for scholarships for seniors at Oppenheim-Ephratah Central School,
the Teacher’s Association decided to continue
with the program. Mrs. Mott said that the
―scholarship fund is very important to us‖ and
it ―was a lot of hard work but we [Teacher’s
Association] were able to give out almost
$2,000 in scholarships‖ said Ms. Rhodes.
The 2010 recipients of the OETA Scholarship,
Amber Wiltse, Sunja White and Katherine Lynch,
each received between $1,000 and $500. When
asked if last year’s games were a success,
Mrs. Poltynski said ―absolutely, we were
thrilled on how it went‖.
Many teachers put time and effort into getting
the games started. There were many committees controlling everything from food to
games. Mrs. Poltynski said it was a ―huge
group effort‖. Mrs. Mott says that around this
OPPENHEIM-EPHRATAH CENTRAL SCHOOL
STUDENTS $1
time ―everyone comes together‖ and can have a
great time with their friends and family.
The overall goal for the OETA Games is to have
more participation from the students and the
community so ultimately more money can be given
out to a graduating senior.
Join us on March 17, 2011 at Oppenheim-Ephratah
Central School from 5:30-9:00 p.m.. There will be
something for everyone to participate in with
many games, plenty of food to purchase, and some
great raffles! All of this to help some of Oppenheim
-Ephratah’s own reach their goal of attending college.
