Just before break, CTE & FACS classes went on their annual field trip to the Career & Technical Education Academy. Students toured the entire facility, including their newly added "small animal" class, full of bunnies, guinea pigs, and chickens! They also watched high school students work on animation projects and build two different houses. #WhittierInTheWild

This morning, we welcomed librarians from Siouxland Libraries to Whittier for a bracelet-crafting session before class. Students were able to learn about bracelet-making and create their own woven or beaded bracelets to take home. What a great start to the day!
Students in 6th grade enjoyed a few hours bowling with friends on their field trip to Eastway Bowl. 🎳 Looks like bowling is right up their alley! 😉 #WhittierInTheWild
We hope everyone had a fantastic long weekend! To celebrate Veterans Day and honor those who have served and continue to serve our nation, Mrs. Peska's PROtime class crafted cards for Veterans Affairs. #WhittierInTheWild
Couple things to highlight this week: if you are interested in the Dental Mobile, be sure to talk to Nurse Jason at the beginning of the week. Make bracelets with us in the library on Tuesday morning! And don't forget -- another Whittier night at Skate City on Friday!
