Whitehead students in DRV-SAFE commercials

16 Whitehead students worked with Trooper Chuck Allen , Fox 11 television, NV Safe Routes to Schools and the DRV SFE campaign for over 3 hours to put together commercial spots that are now airing daily on Chanel 11 television. Our students are teaching the Washoe County community with reminders about seatbelt safety and pedestrian safety. Great work !

JWES Pajama Sing Along

We ended 2013 with a great school family gathering! We had a sing along pajama party. This year we had some special guests visiting from The North Pole and lots of adult family members joining us. There wasn't an empty seat in the cafeteria. Our principal was even in footsie pajamas !! What a fun time filled with beautiful singing ! 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!

Successful Shot Clinic at Whitehead ES

This past week 75 Whitehead students received their TDap and/or flu shot/mist here at school. All students that are 11 years and older will need their TDap shot before entering 7th grade.

A big thanks to our school nurse, Mrs. Freier , and many of her nursing colleagues who made this clinic a  smooth success . Students were supported throughout this process and all were happy to receive a lollipop once they completed their turn. 

We are never too old for lollipops!
