What is the PTG?

PTG stands for Parent Teacher Guild. The PTG is responsible for organizing events to raise funds for OLL School, to create a forum for concerns or constructive criticism for the well-being of our children and to bring education to our families through guest speakers at the general meetings.  This organization is very important for the livelihood for our school and benefits all of our children.  Our foundation is based on parent participation to make these events possible and successful and we are truly grateful for any and all involvement.
