The Intermediate campus has received this check from Target with a letter from Gregg Steinhafel, Chairman, President and CEO, Target Corporation.

This check was presented to White Oak Intermediate based on the votes our campus received during the recent Give With Target campaign. This nationwide campaign allowed anyone in the U.S. to vote for their favorite K-12 school on Facebook. Thank you, parents and friends, for following us on Facebook and for voting.  If you do not already follow us on Facebook, please visit https://www.facebook.com/WhiteOakIntermediate and LIKE our page to receive the most current notifications of events happening right here on campus.

Red Ribbon Week at White Oak Elementary will be October 28th-November 1st. Mrs. Sarah Maines has planned some special activities for this commemorative week. We hope that every Primary and Intermediate student will participate. Below are listed the themes for each day.

• MONDAY – Wear Something Red
• TUESDAY – Super Hero Day
• WEDNESDAY – Dress “Cool” – EARLY RELEASE DAY
• THURSDAY – Halloween Costume
• FRIDAY – Wear Maroon and White

This year the Big Kahuna Fundraiser will feature much more than just cookie dough! Our booklet will feature kitchen specialties, cookbooks, gourmet mixes, totes, holiday wrap, desserts of all kinds, and, of course, the best cookie dough in Texas. Students will bring home packets and those who wish to participate will have the opportunity to win some spectacular prizes.  Students will be selling items through November 6th with Delivery Date being December 12th.

Parents will need to make sure that orders match the total of money returned. Otherwise, orders may not be placed. Students will need to sell quickly because the fundraiser will only last approximately two weeks. That’s just enough time to win that Limo Ride or a Trip to the Gym Inflatables!

Let’s show our love and support for third grade teacher, Dinah Morgan and her family! If you would like to purchase a yard sign for a $20 donation, please contact Denise Browder at (903) 736-8747, OR Pick up at Browder Automotive, 4900 W Marshall Avenue, Longview, TX from 8am-5pm M-F.  Signs may also be picked up at 103 Wood Creek Ct, White Oak, TX after 5pm.

100% of the proceeds will go to the Morgan Family.

Parents, mark your calendars.
