Dads & daughters (approximately age 2-13) join us for our 4th annual Oakley Daddy Daughter Dance @ the 20th Century Theatre in Oakley!
This year we have TWO sessions: 4:30-6p or 7-8:30p.
Entertaining us again with their LIVE energetic rock and roll music from the 40s & 50s is Keith Jones and the Makeshifts.
Tickets are $12.50/person. (i.e. Dad + 1 daughter = $25; Dad + 3 daughters = $50; etc.)
Each ticket includes admission, the live entertainment, a high resolution digital photograph/portrait, snacks/treats and soda, and a special gift for each young lady at the end of the evening. (The bar will be open for you to purchase drinks as well). This year’s theme is “A Galaxy Far, Far Away…”
All tickets are non-refundable and proceeds benefit the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, the Oakley Community Council, and the Hyde Park School PTO.
NOTE: Previous years’ events have sold out so you MUST pre-register. Tickets will NOT be sold at the door.

A note from our Athletic Director: I have received several emails concerning the cost of basketball for this year, and I wanted to make an effort to be transparent on this topic. This year’s registration fee is comprised of operating costs and a uniform cost. Nearly 70% for the registration is used to pay for gym fees, referee fees, league fees and custodial fees. These costs are unavoidable in order to play basketball. We are asking families to purchase a new uniform this year. While I understand that this would be the second consecutive year for this ask, this decision wasn’t approached lightly or without reason. This year we are making an effort to consolidate suppliers for our uniforms and spirit wear so that we can establish and maintain consistency in school colors and logos in both sports uniforms and school spirit wear. We are hoping that this will create a scale of economy effect for both Spirit Wear and sports uniforms as we move forward and grow.
SideKix restaurant has offered to give back 25% of our food purchases from Nov. 1-5 to HPS. That’s right, five days (and nights). Please look for the flyer in your Tuesday folder.
Thank you for your support of our school and this local restaurant!
