School News & Events

Ms. Julia’s third annual Warren Dunes Christmas Show!

Come join a bunch of wildcat families for a very festive, all ages, secular *spectacular* the Friday that school lets out for winter break! This year might prove to be the very best yet as Ms. Julia’s band be joined by a full steel drum orchestra as well! Under 18 ticket pricing is still available! 

Download the 2025-26 Whittier Student Directory!

The 2025-26 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 channels that are private to the Whittier community (Konstella, Cindy’s email).

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.

Please let us know if we made a mistake! If you need to add or update your family’s contact info, contact elzingg@gmail.com.

Happy holidays!

Laura, Janet, and Angie

Family Dance & Game Night Chairs Still Needed

We’re looking for 1-2 volunteers to help chair our Family Dance & Game Night community event (scheduled for Thursday, March 19). This fun event usually combines games of all kinds, dancing, and baked goods for a fun evening at school–but the vision is up to the Chair! We’ve got an Event Planning Workbook and seasoned volunteers to help anyone make this event a success–no experience required! We need a volunteer by the end of December or this event will have to be cancelled. To learn more about what’s involved, contact Aisling (events@whittierptaseattle.org).

Thank you, Wildcats!
