Art lesson helps 6th graders follow directions

6th graders learn how to draw a whale by following step by step directions. 

A 6th grade art lesson helped students to experience how important it is to follow little directions in order to complete a big picture. What a great life lesson !

Great turnout for PFA Back to School BBQ

Whitehead families and teachers join together for a BBQ put on by our awesome PFA ( Parent Faculty Assoc.).

The hotdogs and hamburgers sold out but there was more than enough ice for the biggest hit of the night .50 cent snow cones! 

It's so exciting though it can be a little scary to meet your Kindergarten teacher up close and personal.

Mr. Ramos our PE teacher enjoyed a snow cone.

Smiles, laughter and hugs welcome in a new school year at Whitehead !
