Principal's Corner
What a great October, and fun costume parade on Thursday! It was wonderful to see all of the students and staff dressed up and having a good time throughout the day. Even with the rain. Thank you to those who were able to join us to watch the parade and cheer on the little ones. It is always one of my favorite days of the year.
We have had over 95% of our families attend conferences, an incredible turnout. Parental engagement and participation in conferences is a crucial component of student success. I really appreciate everyone’s commitment.
Finally, a big Thank You for making our first Book Fair a huge success. Proceeds from the Book Fair allow us to purchase new books to add to our wonderful Library collection.
Go Cubs,
Todd McCauley, Whitson Principal
