Dear White Oak Families, 

 

We hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. As a reminder, there is no school on Monday due to the Memorial Day holiday. Thank you for taking the time to read our weekly newsletter.

 

Quick Updates/Reminders:

  • Medication Pickup: If your student has medication in the health room, please pick it up by the last day of school.  An adult must pick up all medications from school.  Medications not picked up 10 business days after the last day of school will be disposed of by the nurse.  Any questions, please contact Heather Smith (hwsmith@wcpss.net

 



Stories from Specialists

Arts in Motion with Ms. Burise

 

This has been such an exciting year in Arts in Motion.  We have explored many ways to make poems, art, and music.  We have discovered the ways the arts fit into the curriculum of each grade level.

 

Primary classes have been creating bird and butterfly art, patterns, and poems. Intermediate classes have been creating cityscapes and print making using multiple designs.

 

Students in grades 1-5 will be coming home with their sketchbooks from my class.  I hope they share the artwork they have done this year with you.  It is my wish that they fill these sketchbooks with more art and poetry this summer.  They have so many imaginative ideas just waiting for the paper!  I hope you all have an artful, creative summer!
