Student Spotlight ~ OAKE Children's Choir
In an interview these students shared their thoughts about being selected for this prestigious choir. The felt like the audition process was challenging. The music for "America the Beautiful" had difficult parts to learn and then waiting for the results was a lengthy process. They are looking forward to spending time with their families in a place that most have never been, singing songs they have never heard of before, and meeting new friends. They are nervous about singing on a big stage, but are confident that singing with so many other voices will be a wonderful experience.
We are excited for them. Please join us in congratulating: Trevor Rennels, Amelia Coker, Megan Gorman, Maddie Haddon, Isabella Walker, and Olivia Johnston! Congratulations also to Mr. Miranda who has helped these students on this journey. He will continue to work them, and a student from Sam Houston Elementary, as he prepares them to learn the music and represent Denton ISD.

Sadie's Sleigh Drop Off at Blanton
We are so excited to partner once again with the Sadie Keller Foundation during this special time of year. Sadie’s vision last year was to collect 10,000 toys for the brave cancer fighters in the hospital over the holidays. Last year, Sadie surpassed her goal by collecting more than 12,000 toys with the support of friends, family, our amazing community, and businesses around the area. With your help, Sadie hopes to collect even more toys this year. Sharing the magic of the holiday season positively impacts the lives of those affected by cancer and is a goal dear to Sadie’s heart.
Our school will support Sadie’s Sleigh by collecting new unwrapped toys now through December 2nd. A collection box will be available at the front office and in some of our hallways.
Please help Sadie today by donating a new unwrapped toy!
Additionally, the Sadie Keller Foundation would like to invite you and your family to Breakfast with Santa on Saturday, December 7th at the Harpool Middle School Cafeteria. Details will be posted soon on the Sadie Keller Foundation Facebook page and promoted throughout Lantana.

Thank you for your support!
