MORE FUN! Enjoy the music while you check out the OPPL book bike, or try your luck at the dunk tank! We can’t wait to see you on the blacktop! Be sure to sign up to volunteer and RSVP below.
Thank you, Dominique!
To wrap up or final PTO gathering, we celebrated Dominique Betancourt’s service to the PTO and Whittier’s students, families, and staff over the past three years.
You know her as the energetic face behind her coffee cart, a smiling volunteer at all the events, the emcee at PTO activities, and amazing mom and advocate for our Whittier community. Her service tenure includes navigating the crazy complications of Covid and working toward making the PTO more transparent, accessible, and purposeful.
Thank you, Dominique for the countless hours of service, both seen and unseen. You’re amazing, and your leadership will be greatly missed!
Happy Retirement, Ms. Swanson and Ms. Hoehne — Thank you!
