Celebrating the 5th grade class!
We hosted our first Trunk or Treat in 2025, with Whitman families transforming the parking lot into a fun and festive experience for the students and community.
On Valentines Day, students channeled their creativity into making friendship bracelets for each other, with students paired across different age groups to encourage new friendships.
Every student at Whitman Elementary takes cooking and gardening classes each week through the Sage Garden Project. From TK to grade 5, this program is a highlight for students.
In 2025 we hosted our first outdoor movie night for the community. We look forward to more of these next year.
Most mornings, the Whitman community begins the day by walking or running laps around the joint use field, and kids can win prizes as they reach lap number milestones! Lap trackers were purchased by WEF.
On the second Wednesday of each month, Whitman supporters can visit local restaurants, with a portion of the proceeds going to WEF.
The Whitman Way: I will be safe. I will be respectful. I will be responsible. I will be kind. My character counts!
