Whitehouse News - December 2025

November was Gratitude Month at Whitehouse School. As part of a salute to local heroes, we presented several of our community partners with special appreciation posters. Students and staff created these heartfelt pieces during our “Cub Conferences”—a time when we team up across grade levels to participate in meaningful service projects!

Join us as we congratulate our Governor's Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Kristen Frohn, and Paraprofessional of the Year, Mrs. Karen Janisch. We lined the hallways and celebrated them with flowers, balloons, tiaras, and music during a special Walk-of-Honor!

A special thank you to Loew & Patel Orthodontics for buying back Halloween candy from our school community to send to troops overseas. This year, their generosity helped us earn $200, which will directly support our Media Center and the exciting new initiatives of our librarian, Mrs. Adriana White. We truly appreciate their continued partnership and commitment to our students!

Students who consistently serve as role models were invited to this special event. This memorable Stay and Play celebration included a fun-filled session of games with our Specials teachers, along with a “Making Good Choices” Cub Tags presented by Dr. DeRosa.

Our K-3 raffle to win a chance to ride to school in a fire truck was a great success! We truly appreciate your support because we raised $1,750 for the Whitehouse Station Fire Company. The four lucky winners listed below will be riding to school on a fire truck on December 12:

Kindergarten - Noah Cardenas

Grade 1- Jaxon Reid-Wright

Our third graders celebrated Gratitude Month in a very remarkable way, thanks to the amazing teachers and parents who helped decorate the room! Each child invited a special person to a Thankful Banquet, an event designed for students to express their appreciation for the important people in their lives. During the ceremony, the third graders offered heartfelt toasts, practiced formal etiquette skills, and presented meaningful “thankful” work samples, as they shared delicious snacks with their guests. This memorable celebration marks the beginning of many Thankful Banquets to come!

Meet some of the people who make Whitehouse School such an amazing place!

Each month, three staff members are randomly chosen and are showcased in this segment.

Please encourage your children to continue to show good character as they earn your permission to shade in pieces of their "patience" bucket puzzle!

The mission of Whitehouse School is to provide children with a nurturing environment where they will feel safe and accepted. Our school community encourages respect and builds independence while fostering academic and personal growth, while creating a love for learning.
