+1 Campaign
This year, the Whittier PTA and ELP Steering Committees want to encourage you to think "+1" any time you are purchasing clothing for your own child. Find a good back-to-school sale on uniform items? Consider buying one extra piece of clothing or one extra outfit that you can donate. Are the seasons changing and your child has outgrown a few items that are still in good shape? Think Whittier first. We will have a bin located in the main office where you can drop off these new (or gently used) uniform items throughout the school year. Together, our efforts can make a big difference for the children in our Whittier community!
Whittier T-shirts
PTA is selling t-shirts. Get your school pride on! Stop by the office for an order form or see a PTA member. Thanks for supporting Whittier Elementary.
