Support the PTA!
What makes Whittier an awesome community? YOU!
The Whittier PTA provides programming and services that support our students, staff, families and community. Wildcat families consistently step up—with donations of time and money—to help us navigate changing needs, unexpected shortfalls, and exciting opportunities in this ever-changing environment. We need your continued support this year!
In 2024-25, the Whittier PTA’s financial need is $225,000 to cover essential staff and services, programming, and supports. Our goal is to raise ~$650/student through three primary fundraising events:
- Annual Give Yellow Envelope Campaign (Goal: $395/student – September 3 – October 31, 2024)
- Move-a-thon (April 4, 2025) – This is a student-led fundraising event, where kids can ask neighbors and family members for pledges or donations for laps run/danced/jogged/walked/or otherwise moved at the Move-a-thon (which happens during the school day).
- Spring Fling Auction & Fundraiser (May 31, 2025) – Our annual block party returns! Adult caregivers, alums, and community members are invited to come together to raise funds for our school. This annual event generally includes music, dancing, a silent auction items (classroom art & themed buckets), hosted party tickets, food trucks and fun! Save the date for this always fun event!
