Over 100 Whitaker Elementary School students celebrated Bike to School Day on Wednesday by taking part in the school's first "Bike Bus".
The Bike Bus is a convoy of students, teachers, and parents who ride their bikes together for safety and visibility. Not only does it encourage students to develop healthy transportation habits, but it also gives everyone in the school community a chance to spend time together doing something enjoyable. It's a great way to get active and have fun doing it!

WS/FCS is encouraging families to sort out their bus stops for next school year early to make sure everything is in order before the May 30 deadline. Learn more on our website at https://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/article/2134681.

This week, National School Counseling Week, we're tipping our hats to Ms. Moore, our wonderful school counselor. She wears many hats to support the needs of our students and staff. Make sure you show her some extra appreciation this week! #NSCW25


Today is the 100th day of school, and our 1st graders dressed up like 100-year-olds! They also enjoyed a special snack and activities centered around the number 100.

Mrs. Lundquist's 4th grade class created this collaborative poster of Martin Luther King, Jr. Each student received a square and instructions about how to color it. They did not know what the squares would become. They were excited to see the larger image being revealed. Isn't it beautiful?!
