Orange Avenue families and students play an active role in our community.  We
often hold fundraisers and help other organizations and Milford families in
need.  Here's a list of some of our current activities.

1. Soda can pop tabs Yale Children's Hospital
2. Thanksgiving Baskets
3. West River Health Care
4. American Cancer Society Daffodil Sale

Soda can pop tabs Yale Children's Hospital

Our school as an ongoing effort collects soda can pop tabs for donating to 
Yale Children's Hospital. The hospital then receives cash in 
exchange for recycling their many tons of pop tabs.  
Just tear off the pop tabs from your empty soda cans and send the tabs into 
school with your child. 

Please visit 
www.ronaldmcdonaldhouse.com/poptabs.html to see what great things the Ronald 
McDonald House has done with these pop tabs!

Thanksgiving Baskets

At Thanksgiving time the students are encouraged to think of what they are 
thankful for and to also think about others who are in need. A collection of 
non-perishable foods and items are collected in the lobby the week before 
Thanksgiving and then baskets are assembled and distributed to Orange Avenue 
families and the Milford community.

West River Health Care

There are various activities throughout the year that involve the students
visiting residents at the Mediplex Convalescent Center across the street 
from the school. A long line of the children in costume parades through the 
building bringing smiles to many of them (both the children and the 
residents) during our storybook character day, traditionally held during  
Oct. 31st week. OAS strives to maintain a partnership with the West River Health Care
community.
