Pay It Forward - Connor's Toy Drive
"... Want to provide a little fun and love to children stuck in the hospital during the holidays? Little Connor Quigg, [a student at Spanish Oaks Elementary], can help you do that.
Connor recently realized that while he got to go home after doctor visits, other children spent the night in the hospital. He decided he wanted to bring toys to them, because "the kids don't have anything to play with. And if they get scared or bored, I got them something to play with."

Informational Writing on Pumpkins at Spanish Oaks
Students in Mrs. Graham's class have been having SO much fun learning about pumpkins for our informational writing unit! Today we explored the inside and outside of pumpkins first hand and recorded our observations in our pumpkin flip books. Two lucky winners get to take the pumpkins home with them at the end of the day! We're ready to do some informational writing!
We're Not Crazy, We Are Safe On the Internet
Spanish Oaks is working on being safe on the Internet. We started the day off with crazy hair! In the afternoon we had a NetSmartz assembly, where we learned all about being aware of the dangers online and how to avoid them. We all want to be safe! We're not crazy ... we are safe on the internet!
