Walt Whitman Elementary School

We celebrated our amazing 5th graders as they promoted from elementary school and prepared to begin their middle school journey! 🧡🖤

At Walt Whitman Elementary, our students know:
“I am a college-bound student… preparing myself for the rewards of success. I will reach for my dreams with ability, determination, and hard work. I am responsible for my choices, and my destiny is in my hands.”

Baby Hornets, continue to accept the challenge, chase your dreams, and believe in the greatness within you. We are so proud of all you have accomplished and cannot wait to see you soar in this next chapter of your educational journey!

ENTER TO LEARN, EXIT PREPARED

It’s Chess Time at The Hive! 🐝♟️

Our Baby Hornets are sharpening their critical thinking skills through the game of chess. A dedicated staff member has invested time in teaching our students how to play, and their excitement is contagious! We’re also proud of our student leaders who have stepped up to teach their peers and grow our chess community.

At The Hive, we expand our minds by learning new things—enter the Hive ready to learn, leave ready to fly!
