Dry Eraser Board request...

Hello Mrs. Hollenstein,

I looked on the donor site and see that you all did get the board on last year. So glad the God blessed the Art Dept again!
Some of the Class of 80 along with some 76 Alum will be at the school on Friday, Nov 9th for a Feed the Football Team Outreach. Drop by the basement around 2:30 pm if you get the chance.
We also pray the Infocus Projector is blessing the school!
And please let me know if we can be of help in the future to the school?

In HIS Care Always,

We have bits and pieces of our history from the past art classes here at South Oak Cliff High. We need help from alumni who can share photos and information on how the art department was like in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. If you attended South Oak Cliff High in the years mentioned above and have photos and information about the art department that you would like to donate or share with us please contact Mrs. Hollenstein or Ms. Chaney ( SOC Librarian) or send to our school at South Oak Cliff High/Art Department/3601 Marsalis Ave./Dallas, TX 75216-5900.

Class of 1980

Dear Class of 1980 and Ms. Amy,

Thank you, for supporting the arts in our school. We are thrilled to be receiving this projector. We will be able to do lessons that are for college readiness. We will be able to put the outdated AV overhead away. You will open so many dreams for these young people. Many career opportunities will follow these dreams. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Projector for 2010-2011 Art Department

Mrs Hollenstein, the Alumni Class of 1980 are working on getting funds for your request for the Art Department - will you please contact me (Amy) so we can discuss details?

posted January 1st, 2011

Yes, I want to adopt a classroom.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Mrs. Hollenstein, the art teacher at South Oak Cliff High school. The student's in the art room need a projector to use with the art program. We are presently working with out dated equipment and need the help of the SOC alumni family. We know that students learn best when the community works together toward helping them achieve their highest potential. I'm asking the alumni family to help support the art program by visiting www.adoptaclassroom.org and help donate to our class for this projector. Teacher's spent an average of $1,200 of their own money each year purchasing materials for their class. All donations are tax-deductible. No donation is too small. .

Na'Kayshions Wedding and Event Center thanks alumni

As owner of Na'Kayshions Wedding and Event Center it gives me great joy to be a servant in the community and to be able to provide service and assistance to The SOC Class of 1980 (JoAnn Neal-Williams, Chair) with the planning of your class reunion.

It's was my greatest fulfillment in life when I served as a
teacher and counselor in DISD for 33 years including South Oak Cliff from (1975-1985) being one of the finest. I am so
proud of each of you, your accomplishments and all that you have become. Thank you for touching my LIFE.

80 Christmas Musical success!

The Christmas Musical was a big success as a fundraiser for our 30th Reunion! Held in Lancaster on December 12th, we sang Christmas and songs of Zion with our newly formed "Golden Voices" Choir, under the direction of Bro. Victor McCray. Gwen Mosely was our Mistress of Ceremony keeping the spirit of God flowing. God truly blessed as the Choir was off the CHAIN! Jackie Washington Snow's Church Praise Team blessed us with songs of praise. Michael Freeman's daughter presented a violin solo, and Amy Jones Lee-Coleman's Community Dance Ministry ministered the word of God through dance. We thank God for how he has kept us in His care over the years and continues to give us the opportunity to give Him praise...
