September Student of The Month

37 Students were named as Whitehead students of the month for the month of September. These students were chosen due to their great work at displaying our W.H.A.L.E behaviors throughout the school week. Thanks to our PFA these students enjoyed a pizza luncheon this week as well as received a certificate of recognition. 

Each month two students will be chosen from each classroom as the student of the month.

PFA Cookie Dough Fundraiser has begun and continues until Oct. 7th

Our students listen to find out the great prizes they can earn for selling cookie dough , and pizza dough these next few weeks. Each student is being asked to sell at least one item with the goal of each student selling at least 5 items. All monies raised stay right here to help our school .

Mr. Squires, 5th grade teacher, and two 6th graders participate in a contest to see who can eat the cookie fastest .

All fundraiser orders and money are due back to JWES on or before October 7th.

The funds will be used to pay for a PE teacher and for increasing technology in our classrooms. So please support our fundraiser. Your support helps make our school even better for each and every student.
