We encourage you to join us in making our school the best it can be and a place of growth and learning for our children.
A Message from our PTA President
Welcome to school year 2024-2025! I’m Jenny Thompson and I am excited to serve our PTA this year as President. I have a fourth grader this year, Tuck, and a recent graduate, heading to 6th grade, Natalie. I have been fortunate to work with the school in many different avenues, including the bobcat store, auction, social media, room parent, and long range planning. Our family has loved being a part of the OFE community since we moved to the neighborhood ten years ago. Our PTA is so special, as it is an exceptional organization that brings together our families, our teachers and our administration in a way that demonstrates mutual respect and understanding.
We enter into this school year reminding our children to “Shine Bright Like a Bobcat” because they each bring a unique, shining gift to this world to share with each other and to share everywhere they go….even as they leave this community to make us proud as Bobcat alumni. Our goal is that our efforts as a PTA community can support our EMPOWER values that allow our students to SHINE! May each student be “Loved in the forest, to light up the world!”.
Best wishes throughout this year,
Jenny
A Message from Our Principal
Dear OFE Community,
As we begin another year together, I’m honored to serve as your principal. My name is Andrew Casler, and my passion lies in creating a positive learning environment for all our students.
My wife and I are proud parents to two amazing children, Madeleine (9) and Eli (5). Our household is also home to two mischievous dogs that are constantly coming up with new ways to keep us on our toes. As a family, we enjoy gardening and cooking together.
In my free time, I engage in hobbies such as barbecuing, golfing, and reading science fiction novels. As a two-time graduate of the University of Houston (Go Coogs!), I value education and lifelong learning.
Our theme this year is “Shine Bright Like a Bobcat.” Let’s embrace kindness, positivity, and making a difference together. I’m excited for the journey ahead and can’t wait to see the impact we’ll create as a community.
Warm regards,
Andrew Casler Principal, OFE
