Oakland Terrace Elementary students campaign for healthy food

Gazette:  School to offer salad bar for next year

  1. Students ask for a salad bar, and immediately get one. This is great news! But it strikes me as very poignant, since elementary school students at nearby Piney Branch ES have been asking for a dishwasher for years now to replace styrofoam trays, and have been staunchly opposed at every level, for no apparent reason.

    1. Here's the back story. The President of this PTA is a long time Jerry Weast outside consultant from CT who apparently moved to this area, enrolled his children in this school, was made a permanent MCPS employee, and became the PTA President of this school. He is now moving over to be the new PTA President at the new McKinney Hills site elementary school.

  2. The new PTA prez of Flora Singer ES is NOT the same parent who had been Oakland Terrace's PTA prez in 2011-12.

    1. OK so he is staying at Oakland Terrace as PTA President? An MCPS administrator as a PTA President.

  3. No he is not the President anymore. We have a woman now. I don't know her name.

    1. Then provide the current PTA President and officers names. He was the PTA President for 2011-2012, the year of the salad bar, correct?
