Tomorrow is the third day of our “Coins for Cancer” Campaign benefiting 3rd grade teacher, Dinah Morgan. Because it is Crazy Hair Day and NO sprayed hair is allowed, campuses have decided to allow students to wear wigs. However parents and students need to keep in mind that if the wig is a distraction or disrupts the learning of the student or other students in the classroom, the teacher may have student take off the wig during instruction time. Students can wear wigs for lunch and recess.
Be sure to continue to bring those coins if you can as you enjoy these special days.
In August, Dinah Morgan, a third grade teacher on our campus, was diagnosed with cancer. She has already undergone two surgeries and is working with her doctors to make plans for the next steps. White Oak Elementary would like to support this family by having a “Coins for Cancer” Campaign. The campaign will begin Monday and run the entire week of September 23-27. Students may bring any spare change, or any amount of donations, during the designated week. Each day the money will be collected in each classroom and stored in the office vault. On Friday, the funds will be counted and we will post the total amount collected for this family.
While we are collecting coins, students will be encouraged to follow a daily theme, much like the upcoming “Red Ribbon Week”. Daily themes are:
This campaign and/or the daily themed activities are not mandatory. If you are not able to donate, please keep this family in your thoughts.

Every morning, Nina Peery and her 5th grade production crew meet to film Morning Announcements. Seldom do we take the time to stop and thank them for providing this service to our campus. School news, cafeteria menus, weather, and extracurricular student activities are among the few pieces of information shared daily. Recently we received an email from elementary music teacher, Alisha Kimbley. We’d like to share her comment and encourage the rest of our readers to click on the Podcast Link daily to watch the Morning Announcements.
