ZOOlentangy 2020 Cancelled

The Olentangy Education Foundation has made the decision to cancel our ZOOlentangy fundraiser this year.  While it wasn't a hard decision to make, as the health of the community is top priority, it certainly is a disappointment.   

That said, OEF is committed to continue funding teacher and staff grants in the fall.  Our ongoing goal is to enhance the education experience and promote innovation via these staff grants. In a time when teachers are forced to be innovative in how they educate their students, we are excited to see what they will come forward with in their applications this year and look forward to supporting them in this unprecedented time. 

If you are in a position to make a donation, or fund a grant this year, donations can be made online here, or mailed to the address below.  

Otherwise, please mark your calendar for August 13, 2021 – as we are already looking forward to next year’s ZOOlentangy! 

Say THANK YOU with a Staff Commendation

The staff commendation has closed for the 2019/2020 school year. If you have any questions, please reach out to Dean Prall at dprall@oef.foundation.

Dear Olentangy Community,

The Olentangy Education Foundation's Staff Commendation Program is a wonderful way to recognize a staff employee who has gone above and beyond to make a difference this year. This unprecedented health crisis has caused many hardships and challenges but it has been truly inspiring, and heartening to see the outpouring of love, compassion, hope and understanding across the entire school district.

OEF recognizes and appreciates that our school district is rich with talented and dedicated employees. EVERY staff member has an important role, responsibility and stake in the safety, security and success of our students. The staff commendation program provides our community an opportunity to acknowledge teachers and staff members across the district who have helped to make a child's school year a special one through a written commendation.

Through May 22, 2020, an online staff commendation may be submitted for ANY staff member, including teachers, administrators, bus drivers, support staff, food service and coaches. The completed commendations will be shared with the respective staff members and their principal(s)/supervisor(s).

The NEW Olentangy Alumni Association

Dear Olentangy Graduate,

As an alumni of Olentangy Schools, you know that our schools are the backbone of our community. Whether it has been 5 years or 50 years since you graduated, we hope that you look back on your time in Olentangy Schools with fond memories and as a time that allowed for you to flourish both academically and out of the classroom.

In an effort to foster and develop pride and partnership among alumni, students, and the Olentangy community, the trustees of the Olentangy Education Foundation have established the Olentangy Alumni Association. We want keep Olentangy Alumni connected to their alma mater and each other.

Any graduate of an Olentangy High School is automatically a member of the Olentangy Alumni Association. We invite you to stay connected by sharing your current contact information here.

As a new organization, it will take us some time to get fully up and running, but we plan to recognize alumni, announce community and school events, and build a strong network of Olentangy alumni.  If you'd like to stay even more connected, we invite you to follow the Olentangy Alumni Association on social media.

If you are interested in helping keep our schools connected with our community, please contact us.  We are open to ideas you may have. We are excited to grow and look forward to connecting with you!
