Welcome to December! We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving break and are ready for the busy month of December. We want to thank our neighbors, the Old Fort Lowell Neighborhood for donating turkeys for our annual turkey trot. They donated over 120 turkeys this year to ensure students were well fed and had a blast at the Turkey Trot. Gobble, gobble, and THANK YOU - Old Fort Lowell Neighborhood. We appreciate your generosity. It makes such a positive impact on our families.

Also at Whitmore, December seems to be testing season as we assess what students have learned so far this year. We are underway with our DIBELS and Benchmark testing. December also brings us Middle School Selection for fifth graders, basketball season, Father Winter night, Cool Cat Dance Party, and winter break.

CATS CLUB is open through December 16th. December 16th will be the Showcase and the last day for this semester. CATS CLUB will begin again on January 9th.

KIDCO is open through December 22nd. KIDCO is closed on site December 23rd and will reopen January 9th.

Good News Club's last Wednesday is December 21st. They will begin again January 11th.
