What an awesome time we had yesterday at the Community Giveback hosted by Covenant Family Church! 🧡🖤

We loved connecting with our returning and new Whitman families. It was especially meaningful to hear Whitman alumni share their experiences and memories of being Baby Hornets.

Families explored some of the exciting STEM-based learning coming this school year, played chess, and received free books to grow their home libraries!

We still have Pre-K spots available—come join the Baby Hornet family!

We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on the first day of school! Enter the Hive ready to learn. Leave ready to F.L.Y.!

A huge THANK YOU to Guthrie Green for your generous donation!

Whitman is so excited about this new partnership, and we can’t wait for our Baby Hornets to enjoy these amazing bean bags. After seeing how much fun we had testing them out yesterday, I know our students are going to love using them for reading, learning, collaborating, and relaxing.

We are incredibly grateful for community partners like Guthrie Green who invest in our students and help make Whitman an even better place to learn and grow.

Thank you for supporting our Baby Hornets!
