Oakhurst Students Visited By Award-Winning Author
White Oak Milddle School, which serves students in Oakhurst at Kingwood, was treated to a visit by award winning author Andrea White at the end of the school year. She spoke to all seventh graders and 120 eighth graders who were excited to purchase books and get autographs from Mrs. White.
She grew up in Houston and is married to Houston Mayor Bill White and in addition to being an author, is a community volunteer and education activist. The Whites have three children: Will, Elena, and Stephen. She told the students that they love to hike and camp, and although they've had some hair-raising adventures, she says that their experiences were all tame compared to what happens in the book Surviving Antarctica.
