When your family jois the PFA, the money stays here right in our school, and allowsour PFA to support our studnets in somany ways: technology, PE teacher, classroom materials, art supplies, etc.

Some of our teachers sporting their new staff shirts and SMILE lanyards. Ready to welcome the students. 

Step right up and finfout who the lucky teacher is that gets to have you in his/her class this year. 

Thank you ot all of our wonderful volunteers that helped make our BBQ a great success.

Waiting in line for a hot dog or a hamburger, yum !

Kiona Ice truck added some fun and delicious treats. They donated a portion of their sales back to our school. Thanks Kona Ice.

Meeting your Kindergarten teacher for the first time is a bit scary, though she is not scary at all.

Our teachers were soexvcited to meet our new families and their students. 

Paarents + Teachers = successful students

Whitehead teachers look forward to meeting parents and working together all year.
