Celebrating a Year of Purpose & Honoring Our Retirees (2025 - 2026)

🎉 It’s the last day of school at A.J. Whittenberg — what an amazing year of Power Up with Purpose! Our students grew as young engineers, gaining knowledge and life skills to help them succeed.

Please join us in celebrating the retirements of Mrs. Nancy Davis (Music Teacher) and Mr. Matthew Ramsdell (Physical Education Teacher). Thank you both for your decades of dedication to education and for all you’ve given to A.J. Whittenberg. We appreciate you! 💙

Once an A.J. Engineer, always an A.J. Engineer. Enjoy your retirement! 🥳
