We would like to say thank you to the Keep Whitehouse Beautiful Organization for organizing such an amazing and important event!

CAIN ELEMENTARY WAX MUSEUM

Third graders at Cain Elementary participated in a Famous American Wax Museum on Friday, May 10. They worked for two weeks researching and learning about Famous Americans such as Betsy Ross, Alexander Graham Bell, and Amelia Earhart. Once their research was complete, they dressed as their Famous American and remained frozen in different poses for an hour as the remainder of the school and their parents came through to see all of their hard work. Sherri Randall, principal of Cain Elementary, said, “This was the best Wax Museum, EVER!” Great job, Third Grade!!

BROWN ELEMENTARY FIELD DAY

The night’s rain made it a little soggy at first, but Brown Elementary students and teachers had a ball at their “Let’s Have a Ball” annual field day last Thursday. Students participated in activities such as Blongoball, Pipeline, Putt-Putt, Big Ball Bowling, and, of course, the all-time favorite, Tug-of-War. Thanks to all the parents who volunteered and made it a great day for our students!

PENNIES FOR PASTA

Whitehouse Jr. High students participated in the “Pennies’ for Pasta” program that collects money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) which is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to fighting blood cancers. Survival rates for children with acute lymphocytic leukemia, the most common childhood cancer, have risen over the past 60 years from 3 percent to nearly 90 percent. With continued support from caring and committed individuals, LLS can continue to fund research to find a cure for blood cancers and realize the goal of 100 percent survival! The contest was between the students in all Advisory classes. Coach Shari Knight’s class won with a total of $756.62 and the total collected by the school was $4205.35. Way to go WILDCATS!!!!

AROUND THE WORLD AT BROWN ELEMENTARY

Brown Elementary hosted the 5th annual Around the World at Brown Elementary: International Day. Students and their families participated in sharing cultures and countries from around the world. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about different places and to ask questions too! The 5th graders incorporated their knowledge of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and symbols to show younger students. They also brought personal Items from where their families had traveled. These items came from as far away as Alaska and Hawaii and as close as Austin, Texas. It was a great success for all.
