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

McDonald House has done with these pop tabs!
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.
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.
