PTA Appreciation
Thank you so much for supporting our White Oaks Book Fair. The turnout this week was fantastic and our Family Fun Night was spectacular. It was so fun to see our young readers’ enthusiasm for books. We would like to extend a big thanks to our Book Fair Chair, Debbie Blucher, all our parent volunteers, and our incredible librarian, Mrs. Griffin, for making this special week possible.

2019-2020 Yearbooks Are for Sale
White Oaks yearbooks are for sale! They can be purchased directly from the Jostens website. Yearbooks are $25 each, and the sales deadline is Friday, December 19. Yearbooks are distributed the last week of school by your student's teacher. Most teachers give the students time to sign yearbooks, so don't let your child be left out!

We don't have a lot of extras to sell at the end of the school year, so buy your yearbook now to reserve your copy. Please contact Teresa Williams with questions.

Lunchtime Playpod Volunteers Needed
The White Oaks Playpod provides students with a unique area of play during lunchtime recess. The Playpod is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays and with parent support, we can open it up on Mondays and Fridays as well. Please click here to sign-up.
