Whitney ES

Our fifth graders are off to middle school. To ALL of our promoting 5th graders: You worked hard, you grew so much, and you are officially ready for the next big adventure. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."-Eleanor Roosevelt

Field day was amazing! The students had so much fun getting wet, participating in action packed stations, and refreshing at the popsicle/water station. It was wonderful seeing all of our families participate as well. Thank you Station Casinos and Wildfire Gaming
for supplying the popsicles and helping with the event. Whitney is where the magic happens. 💙💙

The fifth grade students had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas College last week for our annual Etiquette Luncheon. Our students dressed to impress. They looked absolutely stunning in their Sunday best! They practiced using table manners and engaged in polite table conversation. What a wonderful day! A huge thank you to the staff and students at Las Vegas College, Peter Mikhail and Sally Bemis for providing this elegant experience and making our kids feel like VIPs.

Today is National School Principal’s Day and Whitney has one of the best! It is a joy to celebrate a leader who is clearly where she is meant to be. Mrs. Andrea Tarrant
is hands-down one of the kindest, most supportive admin in CCSD, and her passion for kids shows in everything she does. Mrs. Tarrant is finishing her second year as the Principal of Whitney and has already won over the students, staff and community with her grace, energy, and passion for reading. Thank you Mrs. Tarrant for all you do for the entire Whitney family! We are grateful to have you leading the way! Andrea Tarrant

There were some new faces at Whitney ES today! 🍎✨
For Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, we welcomed “junior educators” to the team. It was such a joy to see our staff bring their children along to experience a day in the life of an educator.
From helping with morning announcements to seeing what goes on behind the scenes, our guests brought an extra dose of energy and curiosity to the halls. Who knows? We might just be looking at the next generation of teachers and principals! 🎓💼
