Pumpkin Drawing

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

The third grade students at Spanish Oaks Elementary had the opportunity to participate in a fun Halloween themed art project. They all drew their own jack-o-lanterns and then they were able to use chalk to add color to their pumpkins. They had so much fun!

PTA Book Fair at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by kali.brown on

We have an exciting Scholastic Book Fair coming to our school October 22-26!  We hope you will be able to make some time to come over to the school.  We will be open during school hours, and until 8:00 p.m. SEP night on Thursday. 

Did you know?  Reading just 20 minutes a day exposes your child to about 1.8 million words per year.  Reading helps students develop a stronger vocabulary, and in addition, students who read for pleasure average higher grades in English, mathematics, science, and history!

Congratulations, Mr. Pancake!
