6. Whittier PTA Family Fun End of Year Celebration
Join us on the Whittier primary blacktop on the last day of school on June 11th from 11:40 – 1:15. There will be treats, a dunk tank, balloon twisters, glitter tattoos and entertainment by DLD Dance Center.
All Whittier students & families welcome! Each child must be supervised by a designated parent or other adult as teachers will still be working during this event, and PTA volunteers are there to assist with activities, and are unable to supervise.
