March 7 – 11

Happy Week Before Spring Break!

Wednesday, March 9 we will taking another field trip to see “Once Upon a Mattress” presented by ARTSVIEW THEATRE in downtown Longview. Your student had the opportunity to bring a permission slip and attend this fun production starring one of our own White Oak thespians! We will eat at The Butcher Shop then travel to the theatre and return home about 9. I love getting to expose the students to these opportunities. Who knows who might be the next famous actor/singer out of White Oak Texas?!

6th Grade
This is the last week of their nine-week rotation. Students will be presenting “On the Radio” on Wednesday at 3:15.
A semi dress-rehearsal will happen the Tuesday before so please have all costuming in my room on Tuesday. Please put costumes on hangers and label both the hanger and the costume.
On Friday, they may bring a snack and a drink to enjoy during class as we celebrate our performance and the end of the grading period

7/8th grade
This group is coming on strong. We have added “We Don’t Talk About Bruno to our list of songs this week. This delighted most of the students, and some are in a deep depression – lol. It’s a fun song and so awesome to see their joy as they sing. They can switch from Italian to pop and then Broadway without missing a beat.

Varsity
We are blessed to have Dr. Mary Heiden come Monday to listen to our choir and encourage us as we prepare for UIL contest. She will also talk about Kilgore College and scholarship opportunities. Many of our students are involved in multiple activities during the spring semester so we are juggling a great deal and the students are doing it well.
Contest will be March 30 in Texarkana. This is an all day event and I will give you more details as I obtain them
This choir is starting to really gel and encourage each other to be the best they can be. I am so proud of them.
