56TH ANNUAL OGS PUMPKIN PATCH
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 | 11 AM – 4 PM

Pumpkin Patch is the OGS PTA’s largest annual fundraiser, supporting student enrichment, teacher resources, classroom initiatives, and community programs throughout the school year.

Join us for a full day of fall fun at OGS with food trucks, inflatables, games, raffle prizes, seasonal activities, and plenty of Dolphin spirit.

WHAT’S NEW FOR 2026

live entertainment, Grit Ninja obstacle course, petting zoo, new inflatables, and other fun surprises throughout the day.

Plus, all of the Pumpkin Patch favorites families look forward to each year will be back.

PUMPKIN PATCH 2025
ONE FOR THE BOOKS

Last year’s Pumpkin Patch was a record-breaking success thanks to our incredible community of families, volunteers, teachers, and sponsors.

A special thank you to our 55th Annual Pumpkin Patch Co-Chairs, Courtney Van Naarden and Meaghan Gruppo, whose leadership and creativity made the event unforgettable.

Funds raised through Pumpkin Patch directly support student curriculum and enrichment, teacher resources and classroom initiatives, and community-building programs at OGS.
