🚌 Bus Safety in Action! 🚌

Our Wildcats are practicing important bus evacuation and safety procedures during PE classes this week! Students are learning how to safely get on and off the bus, follow directions during an emergency, and even practice exiting through the back of the bus.

These hands-on lessons help our students know exactly what to do and build confidence in keeping themselves and others safe. 💚🤍🐾

A big thank you to our PE and transportation teams for working together to keep our Wildcats safe! 🚌🐾

Two more PAWsitive Office Referrals to start off school!

Gavin was recognized for being an excellent helper during the first week of school! We love seeing our Wildcats step up, work together, and lend a helping paw wherever it’s needed.

Way to go, Gavin! Keep up the PAWsome work! 🐾💚

Kip showed what it means to work together when he took the initiative to help clean up a water spill in the bathroom. No one had to ask—he simply saw something that needed to be done and helped!

Way to go, Kip! That’s PAWsitive leadership in action! 🐾💚

🌱🌸 Growing Together: August Team Spotlight…PreK! 🌸🌱

As part of our Growing Hearts, Minds, and Community Together theme, we’re excited to highlight one White Oak team each month and we’re kicking off August with our amazing PreK Team! 💚🤍🐾

Today, with all of our PreK students together for the first time, we celebrate our PreK team for always working side by side to grow kindness and make sure every little Wildcat feels seen, known, and loved. 💕

Mrs. Caraway, Ms. Bartholomew, Mrs. Lane and Ms. Wickham show us that when we work together, care for one another, and lead with kindness, beautiful things grow!🌼🌱

We’re so thankful for our PreK Team and the love they pour into our littlest Wildcats every day! 🐾💚🤍
