We are so grateful for the way Whittier Fire and EMS supports our kids and staff! They are always willing to help…with anything from potlucks to first aid.

Last week they taught our middle school students CPR, this week they covered “stop the bleed”.

Thanks for being awesome, WFD!

High school students studied the chemistry of using salt to lower the freezing point of water. Our culminating activity was making ice cream!

Our graduating senior, Shelton, finished off his senior project today. He built flower boxes with Mr. Victor’s help, and grew marigolds and nasturtiums from seeds. He filled the boxes in with some pretty pansies. He is going to donate the boxes to a few businesses in town. Nice job helping keep Whittier beautiful, Shelton!

Mrs. Korbe’s class went to Salmon Run today to explore during the negative tide. We saw some pretty plants and neat critters. We have been learning about earth and our impact on the world around us, so it was fun to connect last week’s cleanup with seeing some of the animals and habitat we helped protect by picking up trash so it doesn’t end up in the ocean. At the end we warmed up with some hot cocoa!

Last week was a busy week! One of the things taking place was a kayak skills class for high school students with Mr. Victor. Ms. Natalie and WCS alumna Stacy were in town to lend a hand and current students gave kayaking a try, learned to maneuver kayaks, how to return to a kayak after a rollover and to care for kayaks and kayaking gear. Our pals from the fire station were also on scene to cheer them on and practice some “throw, don’t go” skills with folks onshore. A great day of water safety and recreation!
