Whitehead families support each other this holiday

The students of Whitehead collected over 1,000 items of food during the month of November. Each grade was assigned a specific food item, ex: Kinder brought in Mac & Cheese and 6th graders had to bring in boxes desert mixes. The class at each grade level that brought in the most items has earned an extra PE class at the park. The students then sorted the food into boxes that make up a complete Thanksgiving meal plus some extra treats as well. The PFA provided turkeys and a roasting pan complete each food box. Thanks to the support and collaboration of our entire school community 17 of our Whitehead families will be enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving meal during this school vacation. The true sign of a family is knowing that when just one of us is lonely, or hungry then we all feel that stress. It's amazing how much support comes together when each person gives just a little! I am so thankful for the love and support of our Whitehead School community, we have shown again that we truly are a family ! Happy Thanksgiving !

The bar graph in the main hallway shows the number of food items each class donated this November.
