Dear Parents and Guardians,

Happy Fall! Although fall seems so short-lived this year due first to the heat, then to all the rain and now the cold weather has kicked in.

Students and staff are hard at work at White Rock. We are more than halfway through the first trimester and the engaging learning activities are in full-swing everywhere you look. In addition to the regular classroom activities, students have been immersed in learning in activities outside of the classroom as well.

We look forward to seeing you at Parent-Teacher conferences November 14-16! Below are some of the other upcoming activities and events at White Rock:

Pictured below are winners of some Art contests and Artist of the Month:

4th Grade Classes competed for the Battle of the Books title in February. All students participated by reading up to 10 novels and competing at the class level to determine the team that would represent them against their grade level. Classroom teams competed with Mrs. Grisi's class wining the competition overall. It was a close battle which came down to a tie breaker question! Congratuations to all our participating teams!

Some of our White Rock students had their stories selected and performed by The Story Pirates at a recent assembly. These students are invited to visit the Story Pirates Theater in New York City and have their plays performed live on their stage. Congratulations to the students shown below!
