Whitehall Elementary School -

The following students earned 5 PAWS and were rewarded this week. Keep up the PAWTASTIC work.

Each week Golden PAWS are awarded to a student in each grade for going above and beyond and that exemplifies the quality of the month. In December we focused on Leadership. The students were rewarded with a medal, a prize, and due to a partnership with the Elmwood Park Zoo two free admission tickets to the zoo. Congratulations to our winners and a special thank you to the Elmwood Park Zoo.

Reminder that tomorrow, December 23rd, is a half day for students. They will be dismissed at 12:20. This is also the last day before winter break. We hope you enjoy your break and we will see you all in the new year on January 5th!
