Share The Warmth
PTO has organized for Whitter to participate in a district wide winter gear drive. Starting Monday, October 25th through the 29th we will be collecting gently used winter gear.
We will be collecting in the front of the school new and like-new winter coats, jackets, and accessories in sizes 'baby' through 'teen' to be provided to local families. Gather that winter gear as donations start the week of 10/25 to 10/29 and will be delivered to the Kids Kloset at First United Church in Oak Park. Beginning in November, any family in need of a winter coat, etc. can schedule an appointment with Kids Kloset to choose their items in-person."
Gaga Pit is here!
On Thursday, October 21st Whittier's Gaga Pit was installed on the blacktop. Ask your kids what they think!
