White Oak’s homecoming week has begun. Everyone that is not a homegrown Roughneck wonder WHY is it every three years? After raising my children here and working on the Intermediate Campus for 15 years I do not question this any longer! Kacy and Tom are going to the homecoming game and taking Karsyn, who by the way, will be wearing a mum. Yes, a mum, for my 3 year old grandchild! She will love it and think she is one step closer to being a princess/cheerleader. Not sure if my grandson, Christopher, will be going this weekend, although I am sure he would love it. Maybe White Oak has their homecoming every three years so it will be special. I have to admit they may be on to something. I have only been to Union Hill for homecoming one time! Go Roughnecks! Go Ladynecks!

I have to admit I am hooked on Google Reader thanks to Pam Cranford.  I love to keep up with some of my favorite blogs.  One that I read today, was “Moving Windmills”.  I will make my first attempt to embed this video on my blog.  Current news in the office is that it is FRIDAY!  It has been a tough couple of days but we have survived.  Just to let all the parents know how much we appreciate your sweet children at school.  I love all my hugs I get in the morning.  White Oak Intermediate is a great place to be.

Everything going great in the office.  We got quite a bit of work done today which is always a good thing.   Sure was great to see happy faces this morning!

Miss my Goll girls that would do the Friday dance with me.  They have moved on up to Middle School this year.   Everyone looked so happy that the weekend was finally here.     Looking forward to Monday and a great second week of school.

Wow it is Thursday, the first week of school and I feel like the puppy in this picture.  I thought I was tired until I watched the teachers walk by.  I know the students are tired too.  Everyone has worked so hard this week.  Parents you should be very proud of your child!   Everything has gone smoothly this week but we can’t wait for the weekend.

Can’t wait to see everyone on Monday, August 24th.  Registration has been fast and furious.  Lots of movement this year on our campus.  The teachers are excited and ready to have a great year.   I hope our new students will love White Oak.  Our students and faculty welcome you.    This is White Oak’s Homecoming Year and we look forward to seeing all the exes! 

We have registered new students (quite a few) and today returning students registered.   It was great seeing everyone again.   It is going to be a fun year!  Don’t forget Open House Thursday, August 20th 5:30 – 6:30. Bring your supplies!

The answer is no but we are getting close!  Today was BIG AR day for Intermediate students.   Students were honored with gift certificates, prizes, and visits to the treasure box.   Second grade students were allowed to watch and afterwards visited the 3rd grade classrooms.   Second grade students are going home today with a packet of information for next year.
