1. PTA Meeting Liaison Request

The PTA is in search of volunteers to attend our general meetings and relay the information discussed  back to their child’s classroom parents so everyone can hear what took place at the meeting.  There are only four additional meetings for the school year so the time commitment is minimal!  If interested in helping out please email Jenn DiCosola at jennbala@hotmail.com or Susan Lorenc at susan_lorenc@hotmail.com
 

2. Family Fun Night @ City Barbeque

Join us at City Barbeque on Wednesday, December 5th!  25% of your purchase will go back to the PTA!

Registration for the winter session of Chess Scholars is open!  Register by 12/7 for the early bird price of $122.75.  Classes are held after school on Mondays from 3-4pm at Whittier with the first class on 12/17.
Whittier requires an in-class parent volunteer for all after school classes.  If you choose to volunteer you will receive FREE tuition for your child!

4. Young Rembrandts Winter Session (Volunteer Needed!)

Registration for the winter session of Young Rembrandts is now open! Classes are held after school on Tuesdays at Whittier.  First class is 1/8. Cost is $110 for an 11 week session.
YB is in need of a second volunteer to share in the responsibility of monitoring the classes.  Please email Rachel Carrero at rachel.carrero@gmail.com if interested in helping out!  You will receive a discount on your child’s tuition for your time.  Whittier requires an in-class volunteer for all after school classes so without your help we cannot offer this class!

5. Coffee with the Presidents

Have a burning question or idea for your PTA presidents? Can’t make an evening meeting but mornings are your jam? Want to get to know us, or just haven’t seen us in awhile? Meet us for coffee THIS FRIDAY, November 30th at Panera on Ogden at 9am – the agenda is all yours this time! Hope you can make it!

6. KOHA App

If you haven’t already downloaded the KOHA app please read below!
Support our local businesses AND give back to Whittier’s PTA by downloading the KOHA app!
KOHA is a loyalty program to help simplify fundraising when you shop local.
Here’s how it works:

  1. Download the KOHA app on iPhone, iPad or Android mobile device.
  2. Make a purchase at participating KOHA merchant locations.
  3. Use the app to take a picture of the receipt.
  4. A percentage of the purchase amount goes to Whittier PTA, and to you in rewards points. Accumulate points and redeem rewards at any KOHA merchant location!

CLICK HERE to visit the KOHA website for more information.  Thank you for taking the time to give back to Whittier!
