“From Day One to Grade Five: Welcome to Your House!”

A strong start at A.J. Whittenberg! 🎉

This week we welcomed our new A.J. engineers and kindergarten students with a house-sorting event. Students were assigned to one of five houses—Academia, Altruism, Excellence, Integrity, and Perseverance—and will remain with that house through 5th grade.

Events like this build community, reinforce values, and support long-term student belonging.

Peek at Day 3 at A.J. Whittenberg! 🔍✨

4th graders teamed up to solve puzzles — brains + teamwork = big smiles. 🧩😊
3rd graders listened to a read-aloud and then wrote thoughtful goals to guide their learning. 📚✍️🎯
In PE, students practiced following directions and working together respectfully. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💬
Students also spent time building relationships with our SRO, Officer Penrod — community and trust in action. 👮‍♂️🤝
