Whitebead First Graders would like to invite our community to the Characteristics on Canvas Art Show. Students have been working hard on recreating their unique characteristics to display what makes them unique and who they are as individuals. We hope to see you all there tomorrow from 6:00-7:00.
Being street smart is an essential skill for kids, helping them navigate their environment safely and confidently. It involves understanding how to assess situations, recognize potential dangers, and make informed decisions while out and about. Teaching children about personal safety, awareness of their surroundings, and the importance of trusting their instincts can empower them to handle various situations wisely. By fostering street smarts, we equip kids with the tools they need to stay safe and make responsible choices in their daily lives.
Last night at a special board meeting the Whitebead Board of Education set three public forums. These public forums are an opportunity for the board to hear the input, opinions, and concerns about the possible Whitebead annexation of Paoli. The forums are set for:
Tuesday April 29th @ 3:30
Saturday May 3rd @ 10am
Thursday May 8th @ 6pm
All meeting will be held in the Whitebead Auditorium.
A survey will also be conducted as a way to get public input. That will follow soon. We appreciate everyone that came to the meeting last night.

Feelin' Groovy Dress Up Day ✌
Whitebead Library has been the happenin' place this week. Our Feelin' Groovy Book Fair wraps up today, and we want to give a shout out to everyone who helped with these far out decorations! Mrs. Babcock, Mrs. Capers, and Whitebead art students lined the hallways with signs and tapestries. Jessica Evans and Tracey Young decorated the library inside and out. We even have a disco ball! Thank you all for sharing your awesome talents! ☮❤📚
State testing can be a stressful time for students, making it even more important to start the day with a nutritious breakfast. Eating a balanced meal in the morning fuels the brain, improves focus, and enhances memory, all of which are essential for performing well on tests. A breakfast rich in whole grains, fruits, and proteins helps maintain energy levels and keeps blood sugar stable, allowing students to tackle challenges with confidence. Prioritizing breakfast not only supports academic success but also promotes overall well-being.
Family night at the book fair will be held tomorrow from 4:00pm -7:30pm. We hope to see you there! ☮❤📚
Join us in celebrating groovy books and cool kids this Friday for our Feelin' Groovy dress up day. ☮❤📚
Science Fun!
Is it a living or non-living object? That was the question for our young Kindergarten scientists as they examined gummy worms and earthworms with a guest scientist. Once they had conducted and finished their study they released the earthworms onto the playground and watched them wiggle away. 🪱
Parents,
Please read the important letter below for families regarding our upcoming state assessments. We appreciate your help!
YeeHaw!!
Heritage Day was a great day for our students! Students were transported back in time to the 1800's in Oklahoma. Some of the activities involved students making butter, learning about outdoor cooking, trying grape cobbler, square dancing, and watching a blacksmith share his craft with the students. Students were also transported back in time through story telling, learning beading, and learning more about the craft of wood carving. A giant floor sized map of Oklahoma allowed students to learn where rivers, roads, towns, and historical sites are located in Oklahoma. Thank you to the Pauls Valley Foundation for Academic Excellence for funding Ms. Miller's grant about Oklahoma. Thank you Ms. Miller for bringing this wonderful day to Whitebead. Also, a big thank you to the Whitebead PTO for your continued support in helping to enrich the lives of our students.
Happy National School Librarian Day, Mrs. McGuire! We appreciate all that you do for our students, staff, and school.
We're looking forward to our Groovy Book Fair next week. Thank you!
