FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2011 - On Friday, December 16, 2011, members of the White Oak High School Band presented gifts to the Salvation Army, as a part of the band’s annual Adopt-A-Family tradition. Each year, the band decides to give back to those in need by helping out a family in the Jacksonville community through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program. Through the help of monetary and gift donations presented by parents and students in excess of $1,000, the band was able to provide gifts and financial support to its selected family, which consisted of 2 adults and 4 children (ages 2, 3, 4, and 9), during this holiday season. This program, which is completely student-led, is one of the traditions the band is most proud of each year, and it is something that continues to follow with students years after their time with the band has passed, as a result fo their participation. All of the staff and band students would like to thank everyone who helped contribute to this year’s Adopt-A-Family and its success!
