Dear White Oak Families, 

 

We hope you had fun at the Spring Carnival! It was great to see so many families at school and celebrate as a White Oak community. (And the weather was perfect!)

 

An event like this requires a lot of time to plan and organize. We want to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of the many generous parent volunteers including Chelsea Lawrence, Maura Lever, Heather Arvay, Amanda Melnikov, Megan Tajili, Amanda McCleary, Qian Chen and Jen Cousins. The Spring Carnival happened because they donated their time & energy. We are very grateful for all their support!

 

Quick Notes/Reminders:

  • Lunch Menu for Thursday, 4/27 is Manager's Choice: Mozzarella cheese sticks, Orange chicken rice bowl, Mixed vegetables, Potato tots & Apple juice.

  • The deadline to order your 2022-2023 yearbook is Friday! Details below to place your order.
