Whitebead Public School

Summer safety is vital for ensuring that everyone can enjoy the season's activities without unnecessary risks. With increased outdoor time, it's important to be mindful of sun protection, hydration, and safe practices around water and recreational activities. Using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and being aware of heat-related illnesses can help prevent health issues. Additionally, teaching children about safety rules while biking, swimming, or playing outside fosters a culture of awareness and responsibility. By prioritizing summer safety, we can create lasting memories while protecting our well-being.

Indian Education will be having their Public Hearing Meeting Monday, May 5th at 4pm in the cafeteria.

The Whitebead Board of Education is gathering input into the possible annexation of the Paoli School District. In that effort, they have created a survey for people to fill out. Below is a QR code and link for stakeholders to use to provide their feedback. The next available public in person meeting is Saturday May 3rd at 10am in the auditorium. https://forms.gle/CH7TB3wmaqp4es6n7

Today at 3:30pm in the Whitebead Auditorium will be the first of three public forums. These forums are designed to get community input on Whitebead Public School's possible annexation of Paoli Public Schools. There will be two other public forums, one on Saturday May 3rd at 10am. Another will be May 8th at 6pm. All meetings take place in the Whitebead auditorium. No voting action will be taken at any of these meetings.

Whitebead First Graders would like to invite our community to the Characteristics on Canvas Art Show. Students have been working hard on recreating their unique characteristics to display what makes them unique and who they are as individuals. We hope to see you all there tomorrow from 6:00-7:00.

Being street smart is an essential skill for kids, helping them navigate their environment safely and confidently. It involves understanding how to assess situations, recognize potential dangers, and make informed decisions while out and about. Teaching children about personal safety, awareness of their surroundings, and the importance of trusting their instincts can empower them to handle various situations wisely. By fostering street smarts, we equip kids with the tools they need to stay safe and make responsible choices in their daily lives.

Last night at a special board meeting the Whitebead Board of Education set three public forums. These public forums are an opportunity for the board to hear the input, opinions, and concerns about the possible Whitebead annexation of Paoli. The forums are set for: Tuesday April 29th @ 3:30 Saturday May 3rd @ 10am Thursday May 8th @ 6pm All meeting will be held in the Whitebead Auditorium. A survey will also be conducted as a way to get public input. That will follow soon. We appreciate everyone that came to the meeting last night.

Happy School Secretary's Day to the very best! Whitebead is a better place because of each of you, and we truly appreciate all you do to keep things running smoothly. Thank you for everything!!

Feelin' Groovy Dress Up Day ✌

Whitebead Library has been the happenin' place this week. Our Feelin' Groovy Book Fair wraps up today, and we want to give a shout out to everyone who helped with these far out decorations! Mrs. Babcock, Mrs. Capers, and Whitebead art students lined the hallways with signs and tapestries. Jessica Evans and Tracey Young decorated the library inside and out. We even have a disco ball! Thank you all for sharing your awesome talents! ☮❤📚

State testing can be a stressful time for students, making it even more important to start the day with a nutritious breakfast. Eating a balanced meal in the morning fuels the brain, improves focus, and enhances memory, all of which are essential for performing well on tests. A breakfast rich in whole grains, fruits, and proteins helps maintain energy levels and keeps blood sugar stable, allowing students to tackle challenges with confidence. Prioritizing breakfast not only supports academic success but also promotes overall well-being.

Family night at the book fair will be held tomorrow from 4:00pm -7:30pm. We hope to see you there! ☮❤📚

Join us in celebrating groovy books and cool kids this Friday for our Feelin' Groovy dress up day. ☮❤📚
