3D Design Club

Club Sponsor: Melissa Neely

Club Fee: $10 per session

Our 3D Design Club is open to all third, fourth, and fifth graders. This is a problem-based learning (PBL) club where we collaborate to solve the question, "How can we use 3D design and printing to solve problems in our community?" 3D Design Club is a "lunch and learn" club where we meet, eat, and learn during the lunch and recess block. Each club session meets once per week for six weeks.  There are several club sessions offered throughout the school year.  Information about signing up for 3D Design Club will be advertised on our morning news show and in the W.O.W. family newsletter.

White Oak’s Broadcast Team gives 5th graders the opportunity to experience producing the daily live broadcast of White Oak’s news show.  Students learn about the different roles that make up the morning news crew. Students collaborate regularly during "lunch and learn" meetings to produce content for our news show. The Broadcast Team includes Studio Technicians, News Anchors, Video Production Group,  and the Google Geeks Squad.

The application process to join the Broadcast Team takes place each spring where all 4th graders have the opportunity to complete an application.    

Clubs for All is a White Oak school-wide initiative to serve EACH and EVERY student. Having a club day once a month allows our students to engage in an activity of interest while building relationships with other students and adults in the building. We also have community members that come and participate in Clubs for All, which fosters and increases a sense of belonging for students not only at school, but in the community in which they live. This year we have over 60 club choices divided between our K-2 and 3-5 grade levels.

Ranch Hands Student Media Center Volunteers

The Ranch Hands Student Media Center Volunteers program is open to all 3rd and 4th grade students. This volunteer opportunity allows students to engage in meaningful activities that support our school library. Volunteers will help sort and shelve returned library books, assist with the book return process, and keep the Media Center and bookshelves organized and tidy.

Students will be scheduled to volunteer during school hours, signing up for one shift each week. Shifts can be before school, during recess, or after school during bus dismissal.

In addition to their volunteer duties, students will meet for lunch once a week or as needed to learn valuable skills. They will explore the Dewey Decimal System, understand different book genres, and develop basic library organization skills. Through engaging practice and games, students will enhance their understanding of how libraries work, making this a fun and educational experience.
