Whittier School Supply Kits

Let Whittier PTO do your school supply shopping for you next year! Order school supplies for the 2020-2021 school year during our sales period (May 15 through June 30, 2020) and your child’s school supply kit will be delivered to school before the first day. Please note that not all items (such as backpacks, headphones and water bottles) will be included in the kits, so if you do choose to order a kit, please plan to check your child’s supply list just to make sure you have everything.

Greenleaf Garden 2020 Edition

Seeking Volunteers to Plant in the Greenleaf Garden. The Garden Team will be continuing our edible garden tradition, it will just look a little different this growing season. We are seeking family volunteers to plant in the garden and maintain the garden over the summer. The first stage will be planting. If you would like to plant in the garden with your own family during a dedicated time, please email Garden Chairs, Nikki Peters at nykky09@gmail.com and Suzanne Griffin at suzullman@gmail.com. If interested, we will assign you garden space and a dedicated time to plant. We ask you to continue social distancing and wear masks when tending to the garden. 

Lastly, stay tuned for a Summer Volunteer Sign Up, which includes the watering/weeding/harvesting schedule from May 2020 through September 2020.

Handy Person Needed 

Service Day was not held this year, so we need some individual Wildcat help! Calling all handy persons to help with two projects in the Greenleaf Garden. We need to repair the rain barrels as soon as possible. This will be especially important for watering the garden this growing season.  We will encourage people to use the rain barrels versus the community hose. We also need assistance with repairing the compost bins and bug house. Please email Garden Chairs, Nikki Peters at nykky09@gmail.com and Suzanne Griffin at suzullman@gmail.com.

Wondering how you can lend a hand? 

Check out our Current Volunteer Signups on our PTO website.  Please note that you will need to register on the PTO website in order to see the volunteer sign ups.
