Breaking News! The Book Fair Is Now Outside
As things change, we change and the PTO is now hosting the Book Fair outside under the awning starting on Tuesday October 19 until Friday October 22nd! Whittier scholars will visit the pop-up bookstore during the school day, and families will have a chance to shop after school is out!
Store Hours for family shopping:
Tuesday 3:00 – 5:00pm
Wednesday 2:30 – 6:00pm
Thursday 11:30am – 12:30pm
Friday 11:30am – 12:30pm
Step 1: Make sure to load an eWallet for your child(ren): The digital dollars will be in the system under the child’s name so they don’t have to manage money. Load it up today here.
Step 2: Check your calendar as we need volunteers NOW MORE THAN EVER! Opportunities span at various times throughout the day, can be short or long and vary from set up, to cashier, to breakdown. Find an opportunity that works for you here.
