Food Drive: Mission Accomplished!
Whittier brought in over 1,000 items for the food drive this week. Half of the food will go to the Poland Community food bank and the other half will go to the Vineyard Church food program. We are a small school, but we give in a big way!
-------
Happy Thanksgiving from the Whittier Middle School Staff! At Whittier, we are very thankful to work in such a supportive and caring community. We are thankful for great kids and the opportunity to help them grow as learners and citizens. We wish you and yours a fantastic Thanksgiving.

Movember!
Movember is an international movement created in an effort to bring attention and support to men's health, specifically prostate cancer and mental health. Men are encouraged to grow mustaches to bring attention to these very real health concerns.
At Whittier, we have our own Movember traditions. Staff members will come to school on November 22nd with the best/worst mustaches they can manage. Students and staff can vote for the absolute best/worst by making donations of any amount in a cup designated for the competitor of their choice. All donations are forwarded to a local cancer organization. All donated funds will go to the Dempsey Center. The "winning" staff member receives the championship belt. Donors earn a hat day. Everyone wins.

Basketball
There are no practices scheduled during Thanksgiving break. Encourage your children to work on their ball handling skills and shooting. There are many great videos online with drills kids can use on their own.
High school basketball starts this week, so gym time will be limited and some practices will need to run later.
