From the students-to-be

We're not big kids yet, 
but someday... this will be our school


See? 
They are making room for us.




From the future students of White Creek:

For all those who plan,
for all who work,
for the students who switch rooms and schedules,
for the teacher who endure extra noise, chaos, and dust,
for those who pray, those who give, 

We give thanks to God!
