Whitebead Public School

Parents & Guardians, if you are able to make packet pick up at the school today from 9-10:30am we ask you treat it like afternoon pick up. Please come down the one way. We will try to have staff ready so you don't have to exit your car. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

🫘🫔 UPDATE 🫔🫘 We are so sorry to share that due to the current boil advisory and the severe weather expected on Friday, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Bean Supper Fundraiser. The safety of our families, volunteers, and community comes first, and we want to make sure everyone can attend and enjoy the event safely. We truly appreciate all the support, donations, and time that so many of you have already given to help make this event possible. We will share a new date as soon as it is confirmed. Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

Due to the water boil advisory from the city of Paul's Valley, Whitebead Schools will move to a virtual day tomorrow. There will be a packet pick up from 9am- 10:30am tomorrow. Parent/Teacher Conferences will go on as scheduled. All other Whitebead events for Friday at this time will continue as scheduled until we receive more information. We are sorry about the inconvenience and late notice.

📣 Cheer Tryouts Are Coming! 📣 We would LOVE to see you join our Cheer Squad! If you plan to try out, please sign up in the office by Friday, March 13th. ✨ Open to students in 5th–8th grade for the 2026–2027 school year ✨ We can’t wait to see your spirit and energy!

It’s time to recognize our Whitebead Character Star Award winners for the month of February! Our character trait was Patience — and these students have done an outstanding job showing calmness, understanding, and self-control in their classrooms.

Congratulations to:

Connor Holt – Kindergarten

Ella Hobson – 8th Grade

We are so proud of the way you represent patience each day. Keep shining and setting a great example for others! 💛👏

Mr. Vines’ 8th Grade Algebra class put their data skills to work this week! 📊 Students created a scatter plot comparing height and foot size to see if there was a correlation. It was a fun, real-life way to explore relationships between variables and practice graphing skills. Hands-on math makes learning stick — great job, Algebra students! 👏

Mrs. Day’s preschool class learned about shadows this week! ☀️😎 Students learned what a shadow is and how to make one in the light--both inside and outside. Students also hosted a shadow-hand puppet show. For today’s project, each student created their own paper shadow, measured the height, and decorated the shadow to resemble themselves.

Mrs. Briscoe’s Pre-K class had a blast acting out The Three Little Pigs this week! 🐷🏠 So much creativity, teamwork, and fun learning happening in Pre-K! ✨

🚀👽🪐 Reading is out of this world—and so are our Spring Book Fair decorations!

A huge shoutout to Candra Adams, Cheyenne Casey, Jessica Evans, and Tracey Young for their incredible creativity and hard work in bringing the universe to life in our library hallway.

Thank you as well to Mrs. Capers, Mrs. Babcock, and our Whitebead art students for sharing their talents through amazing space-themed artwork and Book Fair posters.

Spring Picture Day is coming soon!

Mr. Vines’ 7th grade Pre-Algebra class took learning outside this week! ☀️📏 Students were putting their skills to the test with indirect measurement, using proportions and similar figures to determine the height of objects around campus. Real-world math in action! Hands-on learning like this helps concepts truly click — and the sunshine didn’t hurt either. Great job, Mr. Vines and 7th grade! 👏📐

Bravo to our student stars! 🌟

We are so proud of our Whitebead students who took the stage last week in the Missoula Children's Theatre production of Sleeping Beauty! After just one week of rehearsals, they delivered a truly magical performance.

Students who were part of this year's production include Abigail Alvarado, Helen Newton, Addy Pletcher, Chael Pletcher, Macie Poole, Aurora Salgado, Ella Satterfield, and Calvin Jay Walker

Congratulations to these talented Chiefs for representing our school with pride — you truly stole the show!

We are excited to see everyone tomorrow night for a fun community event!

After finishing the novel in the fall, our 8th graders had the most amazing opportunity to visit the The Outsiders Museum in Tulsa. Students stepped into an immersive experience that brought the book’s themes, characters, and historical setting to life.

A huge THANK YOU to our PTO for generously sponsoring museum admission and lunch--this memorable trip wouldn’t have been possible without your support!

Mrs. Walker visited Mrs. Hays’ Kindergarten class and brought science to life in the best way! 🪱 Students had a blast learning about living and nonliving things through a hands-on experiment with real earthworms and gummy worms. They observed, compared, and asked such thoughtful questions while discovering what makes something living. It was engaging, a little wiggly, and a whole lot of fun. Thank you, Mrs. Walker, for such a memorable lesson for our kinders!

We had lots of great help setting up for the Cheer Valentine’s dance tonight! Starts at 5 tomorrow. Lots of glow items, $1 snacks, and drinks available to purchase (Cash Only). Money raised supports cheer! Grades 5th-8th invited! Looking forward to a fun night followed by Daddy Daughter/ Mother Son dance on SATURDAY!

Our 2nd graders loved seeing *Corduroy* at the Oklahoma Children's Theatre on the campus of Oklahoma City University 🎭 Live theater brings stories to life in such a special way, and our students were engaged from start to finish! Thank you to the Pauls Valley Foundation for Academic Excellence for making this memorable experience possible. 💙
