NEXT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SESSION - MAY 17, 2016, 6:30PM
Join Our List
From the Desk of Mrs. Wise

This week Brownsburg Community Schools held their annual banquet to recognize the Teacher of the Year for each building as well as the Support Staff Member of the Year. Representing White Lick this year is Marie Kirkeiner, our talented music teacher. She does an excellent job with our grade-level music programs as well as providing opportunities for our students in grades 3-5 to participate in the White Lick choir. She works hard to help every child be successful and help them develop a love for music. Our Support Staff Member of the Year is Roberta Shafer. Roberta works in our Bridge K - 2 classroom. She is passionate about her work and works hard to see each child succeed. Roberta has worked for BCSC for 15 years and plans to retire at the end of this year to spend more time with her family. Please join me in congratulating both of these ladies for their great work and dedication to our students.
Please join us on Thursday, May 12th for our annual "Celebration of the Arts" event. Each student will have two pieces of artwork displayed throughout the building. We will also have activities in each of the related arts - PE, Art, and Music. Students will have a chance to play a variety of instruments. Our White Lick choir will wrap up the evening by performing at 7:15 in the cafeteria. It is going to be a great event!
I hope everyone has an enjoyable and relaxing weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all of our mothers! We truly appreciate the work that you do each and every day.
Mrs. Susan Wise
