Whittier Weekly – Week of Nov. 11th – Vol. 14

Angel Families Mitten Program

The holiday season is upon us and the PTA is preparing for the Angel Family Mitten program.  Every year Mr. Krugman collects wish list items from our Angel Families and we post those wish list items on mittens in the vestibule.  Mittens will be posted by November 17th at the latest.  Please consider taking a mitten, buying that item for an Angel Family member, and leaving it in the school vestibule by December 10th.  More information will be provided in the coming weeks. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Kirsten Clancy at kirstenclancy@yahoo.com
