Holiday Cookie Exchange
Date: December 21
Cookie Drop-off: December 20 (pm) or December 21 (am)

This holiday season the PTA is organizing a “Cookie Exchange” for our fabulous White Oak teachers and staff to show them how much they are appreciated by the parents and students. The event will be held on Friday, December 21st.

Click WOES Cookie Exchange to get started.

To make this event successful, we need your participation! If you are not a baker and would still like to contribute, please contact Holly Owens or Jen Nelson for ideas on other ways of contributing. We will also love volunteers to help with cookie drop off and the event setup.

For those bringing in a favorite treat, here’s all you have to do:

Bake two dozen (or more) of your favorite holiday cookies or dessert that can be picked up by hand
Place them in a disposable container that can be opened
Include your recipe on a 4x6 index card or email a copy of the recipe to hnjowens@aol.com*
Drop off the holiday treat during afternoon carpool on Thursday, December 20 or morning carpool on Friday, December 21
Feel free to send in special notes of gratitude to our wonderful teachers and staff

If you have any questions, please contact Holly Owens.

Thank you for your anticipated participation!

* We would really appreciate it if you would send in a copy of the recipes (digital or hard copy) as we plan to post all the recipes online for the staff members to download/print. This will give the staff the opportunity to bake their favorites cookies as well as alleviate any allergy concerns.

General Membership Meeting

Save the date! We will be holding our first General PTA Meeting of the year on Thursday, December 13th at 6pm prior to the Winter concert. During this brief meeting, we will meet this year's board members and ratify our 2018-2019 PTA budget. We hope you can join us for this short, but important, meeting.

Spirit Wear Update

We wanted to provide an update to those of you who placed Spirit Wear orders at the end of October/beginning of November. The good news....the T-shirts have arrived. The bad news....the socks have not. We are following up with the sock vendor to determine the reason behind the delay and to get a new ETA. To limit confusion, we will distribute Spirit Wear orders once all the items have arrived. We will keep you posted on when we have a distribution date.
