FIELD DAY IS ON ITS WAY!!! On Thursday, June 15th we will have our annual Field Day and we need volunteers to make it run as smooth as possible.

The Upper Grades will have Field Day in the morning and the Lower Grade will have it in the afternoon. Please consider helping out with either or both!

Your PTA Still Needs Additional Board Members
In order to keep the White Oaks PTA going, we still need a President and a Vice President. Unfortunately, without a full Board, in accordance with our membership in VAPTA and National PTA (as well as our non-profit IRS status) we will have to freeze our bank account, stop fundraising, and lose access to many benefits we have now to support our school. Please reach out to wopta.president@gmail.com to discuss how you can help our school community next year. If you would prefer to help on one of our committees next year, please complete the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/mEMEtpQJ5mvMoZDN8
Join us for a Family Fun Fair Saturday, June 3rd @ 3:00pm
We have planned for a fun afternoon of games, treats, and activities for the whole family! This event will be free to our families, with all kids getting tickets to participate in the activities and enjoy a treat at no cost. Food trucks will be onsite to order from at cost. To make this event possible we will need volunteers to help run some of the activities. Please see this google form to see if you can help for part of the event: https://forms.gle/6rPcJgdTfBmVnWQy7.
Please help us as we plan for next school year by completing the Student’s Intention for Next School Year form and the Parent Input Survey that were sent home earlier this month. Accurate enrollment numbers and parent input are important as we thoughtfully consider classroom placements for next year. If you need another copy of either form, please contact Marti Lee at mllee@fcps.edu.
