We have some amazing 2nd Grade artists at Spanish Oaks!  Each grade level has a month where their students' art is displayed in the halls by the front office.  Parents, come check it out!

This morning a student from each class had their name announced as our school "treasures" of the week.  These are students that do things that matter.  These students got to add their quilt square to our "WE MATTER" quilt in front of the office.  Students MATTER at Spanish Oaks!

We are so excited for another year of Reflections at Spanish Oaks ... 

PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student recognition program to encourage artistic creativity in the classroom and at home.  Students of all grades and abilities may participate and explore the arts based on the 2016-2017 theme:  What Is Your Story?

We are ALL integrating the arts at Spanish Oaks ...  Office staff, school nurse, librarian, lunch lady, counselor, teacher(s), administration, etc., all enjoyed learning from our amazing Mrs. Johnson.  Thank you, Stacey, for sharing your talents and love for the arts!

Today in Kindergarten we talked about letter T.  What better way to learn about T than to have a turtle race?!  We were lucky enough to have Mrs. Brown come and join the fun. 

Our School Picture Day is tomorrow, October 6, 2016.  Please remember to send your student(s) with the school picture packet that was sent home the first of the month.  ALL students will have their picture taken so they can be included in the class photo. 

Kindergarten students had a visit  this past week from Mr. John Baird a local bee keeper.Mr. Baird shared with students how a bee keeper prepares a hive for the bees to live in.  Next,  he taught them what the honey bees must do to prepare the hive to house the honey they produce.   Then, he then showed the process of extracting the honey from the hive and how he and his family prepare the honey to be sold to his customers.   Mr.
