I absolutely loved seeing the smiles of pride on the students' faces as they shared projects with their families. This night always holds a special place in my heart. The culmination of everyone’s hard work is finally presented and it is incredibly rewarding to take a step back and say, “Wow! Look how much we have learned this year!” I would like to thank Brooke Sibley and Doug Okamoto for organizing the Art in Action Show that took place in the MU during the Celebration of Learning. What fabulous pieces of art our children have created! Our PTA has made it possible for these art lessons to take place in the classrooms and I am so happy we got to celebrate this enriching program. Sincerely, PTA NewsJoin the Holiday Store Committee for Next Year!Help needed for Holiday Store 2023! We would love your help this summer to start gathering supplies and making the gifts for our White Oaks Holiday Store. We are doing it a little differently by starting earlier and spreading out the gift making so it is not such a rush in the fall. We plan to have a few crafting parties to socialize and make or assemble some of the gifts together. Please reach out to Sara Ting if you'd like to join the committee. We love new ideas and fresh eyes to keep it interesting! 3rd Grade Families - Arroyo/CMS PTA June SocialPlease join us Wednesday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m. to hear all about what we have planned for Arroyo next school year.

Thank You to Our Art in Action Volunteers!The PTA would like to acknowledge all of the amazing parent volunteers that helped make Art in Action a success this year.
