Organization of Parents and Teachers (OPT)

The Sassarini OPT is a key support to programs and services at our school! OPT funding provides all of our field trips at Sassarini  and supports our technology, garden and library programs. OPT is also responsible for many school spirit and community benefit events throughout the year. We encourage all parents to attend an OPT meeting and learn more about this wonderful organization.  The current fund raising efforts of OPT are focused on the long-term goal of an updated playground!

Please join us -- everyone is welcome!
