Boosterthon is coming up!
Parents and Families—this year’s main fundraiser is the Whitt Elementary HeroFit Challenge! It’s a two-week program that kicks off on Sept. 16th! Families will then gather pledges for every fitness challenge your student completes (30-35 fitness challenges) at the Whitt Elementary HeroFit Challenge, which will happen on September 25th. This year our goal is to raise $30,000 for school classrooms, and we need your help! We’ve asked the experts at Booster to power our fundraiser to make it easier, more profitable, and most of all, FUN for our WOLVES!
Students will also experience an amazing character theme, MINDSPARK: WILD WEST! This goes perfectly with our district theme, RIDE FOR THE BRAND! Booster’s most exciting theme yet combines S.T.E.A.M. skills (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) with character-building. While they're teaming up with the MindSpark Kids to save Dr. Shock, our students will learn five character traits that will help strengthen themselves and our world.
Donations will go toward school classrooms and the entire two-week experience.
So please help our school by getting pledges from family and friends and entering them on FUNRUN.COM (once our fundraiser kicks off). Also, all families are invited to come out and cheer on our students at the Whitt Elementary HeroFit Challenge. Thanks so much for your support!
Recess and Heat
Dismissal
Please note...any changes to the way your child gets home needs to be communicated as early as possible.
**Transportation changes cannot be made after 2pm. Teachers are busy teaching their hearts out and may not check their emails on a real regular basis.
**If parents need to pick up their children early, please do so before 2:30 as to not interfere with dismissal.
**If parents email a teacher about a transportation change, they MUST get a response to verify. If they do not, the parents need to call the office since teachers may not have had the chance to check email.
On the campus office/teacher side:
Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Shahan will make sure to call and talk to the teacher directly or communicate face-to-face to inform teachers of these changes.
****Dismissal Change!****
We will continue to dismiss INDOORS at temps over 95.
We had a great wolf week!
