2025-2026 Tiger PAWS Committees:

As part of the Tiger Paws community, each family is required to be on a committee for a three-year term starting after you have had kids at OCCS for 2 years. After your term is complete, you will have a three-year break from being on a committee. 

There are many important committees that help keep our school running smoothly, and we would love for you to consider where your gifts, interests, and strengths could be best utilized.

Here are the available committees for this year:

• The PAWS Board
• Room Parent Administrators
• Apparel
• Fall Frozen Pigs
• School Supplies & Kitchen
• Soup Supper
• Tulip Festival Tent
• Tulip Festival Pigs
• Tulip Festival Soup & Pulled Pork
• Tulip Festival Straatmarket

Even if your three-year break is not over, you are welcome to join us sooner! While we cannot guarantee specific requests, we encourage you to pray over where you feel called to serve. Please let us know your committee preferences, and we will do our best to align your gifts with the needs of the school. Contact us at tigerpaws@occhristian.pvt.k12.ia.us by February 21.

February Theme: The Shield of Faith

February Hymn: Onward Christian Soldiers PH #522
