World Changers in Action
Our 4th Grade Science Review
Students were reading the questions and finding answers as a review challenge for an assessment. Students coded the Bee Bots to find the answers. Way to go, 4th Grade World Changers!
World Changers in Action on the Court
At Whitehall, we teach our World Changers to persevere and have grit each day. It was great seeing our World Changers take their perseverance and grit to the basketball court.

We want to encourage every one of our students at Whitehall to love reading.

The students will also have their picture taken and posted on our All Star Reading Wall. At the end of the month if students have completed reading the number of books or pages required, they will be invited to join our WHES Reading Cafe' for some time during the day. Please help us encourage our students by having them read with you and/or to you each day! READ! READ! READ! |
