Wildcat Parents, Gather ‘Round the Water Cooler (or the 13th Street Fence)!

Here’s your quick, slightly caffeinated guide to what’s happening at Whittier PTA—because between lunch-box packing and pick-ups, we know your reading time is roughly the length of a Safety Patrol-facilitated crosswalk.

💛 1. Give Big, Wildcats!

Without your generosity, we can’t keep the magic alive—daily specialists, our brand-new STEAM Lab, and all the programs that make Whittier sparkle. Please consider a donation so that our kids will continue to have access to PTA sponsored programs and events that make Whittier the amazing school it is!

  • Raised so far: just over $46,000 (35% of goal)

  • Still to go: just under $84,000 by 9/26

  • Your move: Donate today and amplify your donation with an Employer Match if your workplace offers one.

🏃‍♂️ 2. Fall After-School Clubs = Built-In Afternoon Joy

Starting October 6, Mondays/Tuesdays/Thursdays at Whittier. Think chess, sewing, nature art, Spanish, parkour (yes, actual parkour), gamer group, video game design, Lego clubs galore, and basketball.

📒 3. Directory Deadline = 9/26

Make sure your family makes the cut for this year’s opt-in Student Directory (and submit that budding artist’s cover design!).

  • No need to redo if info you submitted last year stayed the same! 

🙌 4. Volunteers = Instant PTA Street Cred

From Fall Carnival fun to Spring Fling scheming (info session 9/30), we’ve got roles for every schedule and talent—Comms Chair, Membership Chair, popcorn-machine wranglers…you name it.

📰 5. Wildchat: The Comeback

Our beloved newsletter returns soon thanks to heroic volunteer editors. Until then, keep tabs on Konstella and whittierptaseattle.org.

📰 6. Belonging Groups

For the 20205-2026 school year,  the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee of the PTA is introducing Belonging Groups, with the goal of connecting Whittier Caregivers in an intentional way to build community and belonging. Learn more about Whittier PTA's Belonging Groups, including how to join >>


Thanks, Wildcats!
Now go forth, donate, sign up, and maybe master a parkour roll while you’re at it.
