J.G. Whittier Poets

Last week at JGW was full of school spirit, energy, and excitement! 🎉

On Tuesday, we celebrated our cheerleaders with a special uniform reveal—made even more meaningful by the hard work and fundraising they put in to earn them. The pride and support from the community made it an unforgettable moment! 💚

Then on Friday, our annual March Madness tournament brought students and staff together for some fun, competitive games. Even our staff hit the court—and won a round! 🏀

Weeks like this remind us how special the JGW community truly is. We’re so lucky to be surrounded by such dedicated, spirited, and supportive people. What a great week to be a part of JGW!

Due to continuing weather conditions, ALL SCHOOLS will be CLOSED TODAY, January 7, 2026

Despite ongoing efforts by city and school staff, rain and ice continue to make roads unsafe. For everyone’s safety, please stay off the roads and stay safe.

Amazing day at JGW! Our first school-wide Rock, Paper, Scissors Challenge was a huge success. Tons of fun, great community spirit, and funds raised for the PTO and D.C. trip. Can’t wait to make this a new tradition! ✂️📄🪨

📢 Weather Update:
Due to the weather, the JG Whittier Middle School Cross-Country Meet at Winnekenni has been rescheduled to tomorrow. Stay safe and good luck to all the runners! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🌧️➡️☀️
