Just a reminder—we’d love to see you tomorrow evening!

Drop the kids off, take a break from the first week of school, and join us for PTO Happy Hour at Babe’s Dusty Boot Saloon.

Whether you’re new to the Otterbein community or you’ve been here for years, this is a relaxed opportunity to meet other parents, reconnect with familiar faces, and get to know your PTO Board.

📍 Babe’s Dusty Boot Saloon
🗓 Wednesday, August 12
🕕 6:00–7:00 PM

Grab a drink, order an appetizer, stay for dinner—or simply stop by to say hello!

Please note: Babe’s is a 21+ establishment, so this event is for adults only.

We hope you’ll join us!

🖤♥️ THANK YOU, OTTERBEIN ♥️🖤

What a wonderful evening at our Back to School Night & Ice Cream Social! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet the PTO, learn about what’s ahead, and help us kick off a new school year together.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported our Vintage Jersey Sale! Because of you, we raised $230! 🎉 Those funds will go directly toward apparel for our upcoming sports seasons.

We also want to extend our sincere appreciation to The Dugout for generously donating the ice cream for tonight’s event. Their support helped make the evening even sweeter, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued generosity toward Otterbein Elementary and our PTO.

We are so excited for this school year and all the fun events, opportunities, and memories we have planned. Here’s to another year of living out what makes Otterbein so special…

♥️ Small School. Big Heart ♥️
