Tomorrow Night! The Book Fair and Winter Concert is December 5th!
It is time again for Whittier’s annual Book Fair! This year it is combined with a Winter Concert from the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Wildcats to make for a wonderful Whittier community event with books, music, and a show of support for our library and Wildcat choristers.
The Book Fair is in partnership again with the fabulous Phinney Books! There are three ways to shop:
- In-person at the event in our own Whittier library, December 5th from 2:30 – 7:30 pm
- Online at Whittier Elementary (Phinney Books) Bookshop
- In-person at Phinney Books (7405 Greenwood Ave N) – tell them that you are shopping for the Whittier Book Fair.
The online and Phinney Books book fair is live! You can shop in store or at Phinney Books from now until December 8th and a portion of proceeds will go directly to our Whittier Library. Use this link for shopping and additional details:
Twenty-five percent of all proceeds from the online and in-person Book Fair go towards purchasing books for our library. This fair brings more new and engaging books to our Wildcats!
The Winter Concert will feature 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade performances while all families are invited to attend to support their fellow Wildcats, get cozy in their pajamas, and enjoy hot chocolate after the concert.
Date: December 5th
Time: Singers arrive to the Cafeteria at 5:50 pm,
Concert Starts at 6pm
Where: Whittier Cafeteria
Here is a link to the songs 3-5 are singing:

We need a few helpers to volunteer to set up the book fair, chaperone performing students, prepare and hand out hot chocolate, and clean up at the end of the night. Please sign up here.
If you have any questions, please email Ms. Newcomb or Ms. Steph.
Thank you so much for supporting the Whittier Library and our student performers!
Download the 2024-25 Whittier Student Directory
The 2024-25 Whittier Student Directory is now available for download! Many thanks to all the families and Wildcat artists who participated. We recommend bookmarking this link to access the most current version, as the PTA makes updates throughout the year.
To protect families’ privacy, we will only share the directory through internal channels (i.e. Konstella).
The PTA compiles the student directory each school year in coordination with families who wish to opt in. Families can use the directory to plan playdates, birthdays, and other fun! Opting in is voluntary. We only share the information you provide.
If you need to add or update your student’s contact info, it’s not too late! Please contact elzingg@gmail.com.
