Have you heard your kiddos talking about the Wildcat House System? Well we are pretty excited about it! All students at Whitehead elementary will be sorted into one of four houses: Isibinidi (Green), Reveur (Blue), Altruismo (Black), or Amistad (Red).
Why are we doing this??
The house system was developed by a gentleman named, Ron Clark. He developed this system to create a sense of community within his school. The house system combines students and staff across grade levels and languages allowing a school to foster a sense of community and belonging. Students get to know other students and staff they might otherwise never know. Everyone participates in various assemblies, games, and event nights all while learning about comradery and good sportsmanship.
What do I need to do?
Please reiterate the message at home, "4 Houses, 1 Family"! Though we all have spirit for our individual houses, we are all one big Wildcat Family! Also, join in the fun! Encourage your kiddo to wear their house colors on Fridays and if you'd like, visit the Ron Clark store to order merch! (Please note this site is not affiliated or ran by Whitehead elementary).
