With the help of technology, the teachers and students at White Oak Elementary School were able to support the basketball boys while they were playing in the semi-finals in Austin at the State Basketball Tournament. The game was streamed live from the Fox Sports Southwest webcam and watched from Coach Underwood’s computer attached to the newly installed projector. It was almost like being there in person, until we lost the video feed in the last quarter. We then relied on a different type of technology-text messaging. Coach Underwood received the great news – WE WON! – from her iPhone and announced it to an exuberant crowd! CONGRATULATIONS on a well-deserved win. We are SO PROUD of all of you! We will be watching and cheering you on tomorrow as you DEFEND THE DERRICK for the State Title. Win or lose, you demonstrated today you are CHAMPIONS!!!

Kindness Day
In addition to Valentine Day parties, Tuesday February 14th was Kindness Day at White Oak Intermediate School. For the past two weeks, students have been working in small groups to create buttons, bracelets, bookmarks, posters, videos, and t-shirts as a reminder of the goal each teacher and student committed to for the day: to spend an entire school day focused on saying only kind words to each other and looking for opportunities to do kind deeds. Highlights of the day can be seen in the Animoto below.
