Welcome to the 2010: Countdown to 6th Grade

In just a few short months the students in the Whitville Community will leave elementary school and start on the serious journey of middle school and beyond. We have so many things to still cover and such a short time to do it. This is a reminder that we must come to school each day with our minds focused on our goals.

Schools of Choice: Deadline for applications Jan. 22, 2010 at 4:00. Please remember that teacher recommendation letters need to be turned in as soon as school resumes so that they can be returned to you in a timely manner.
Living Museum: Students have recieved the name if the African-American they will be representing in our annual living museum. In art they are creating a book to display the information that they collect about their person. We will go to the computer lab Tues and Thurs to research specific information about our person.
