Whitehead Road Elementary School

Today, we honor and celebrate three amazing members of the Whitehead Road family — Cornelia Barnes, Letitia Robinson, and Joseph Ravenell. 💙
Thank you for the years of dedication, hard work, and love you have poured into Whitehead Road Elementary School. Each of you has made a lasting impact on our scholars, families, and staff through your service, encouragement, and commitment to helping others grow and succeed.
Your presence helped make Whitehead feel like home, and your influence will continue to be felt for years to come. The lives you touched, the relationships you built, and the memories you created are part of the legacy you leave behind.
While we are excited for the new adventures ahead, our hearts know that Whitehead will not be the same without you. Thank you for everything you have done for our school community. You will be deeply missed and forever appreciated. 💫🍎

We are grateful for all those that stepped in to thank our staff for the important work that they do and the love that they pour into our students every day.

Teacher Appreciation Week Day 3! We grabbed our leg warmers and turned up the volume, because yesterday’s 80s theme was totally tubular! 🎸

We want to give a massive thanks to Whitehead Road Elementary PTO for our lunch from Baddies Burgers. Our teachers felt like total rockstars fueling up on those delicious smash burgers. It was the perfect way to celebrate the one of the hardest-working crews in the galaxy!

Teacher Appreciation Week Day 2: Our incredible teachers were Saved by the "Taco" Bell today thanks to our amazing Whitehead Road Elementary PTO 🎉 We had delicious tacos with all the fixings from Sr. Sol! Thank-you so much for the amazing lunch!

A huge shoutout to New Covenant Athens for starting our Teacher Appreciation Week on such a high note!

There is nothing quite like a delicious breakfast make our educators feel seen, fueled, and celebrated. We are so incredibly grateful for your generosity!

✨ Science Night was a Blast! 🚀
Koala Nation turned into a giant laboratory last Thursday! From slime to animal encounters to hoverboards and beyond, our student scientists proved that curiosity is the best superpower.

A huge thank you to Ms. Mason, the Koala CLAWS, and our teacher volunteers who helped spark a love for discovery. Seeing the joy and wonder on our students' faces was the best part of the evening. Clarke County School District
