The Viking Voice

VikinG Village Gifters up and running

Don't forget to join our Facebook group, Viking Village Families, a place to easily share and receive items. Whether you have gently-used items to give away or you're on the lookout for something specific, Viking Village Gifters is the perfect place to exchange and support each other. You might even be able to find a tutor too!

We invite all families to join in and make the most of this exciting new resource!

Viking Village board positions open

Have you been wondering how you can help make a difference for students and staff at Whittier? Look no further! We would love any support you can provide, or if you’re interested in either the Secretary or Vice President position, let us know, or join us at our December 18 PTO meeting at 4 pm in the library!

Looking for a way to personally thank your student’s teacher (and other school staff)? We made it easy!

If you’re looking for a way to help your student’s teacher, look no further!

Head on over to Staff & Teacher Wish Lists for grade-level wish lists along with wish lists from other support staff and everyone’s favorite drinks and snacks! 

We’re going to keep these lists up through the year, so feel free to come back at a later date and see what things our teachers and staff might need.

Last but not least, thanks to our amazing volunteers!

We’d like to send out a huge thank you to all the volunteers who have dedicated time and energy to making Whittier an even more magical place.

• Trula Timpane for coordinating restaurant nights

• Jessica Olson and Layne Watkins for updating the reader board

• Evelyn Bonilla for translating our meeting minutes

• Regina, Myrna, Elva, and Mona for the continuous support and partnership with the PTO

We absolutely could not do this without each and every one of you!
