WELCOME BACK WILDCATS!
We hope everyone enjoyed their summer and are relaxed and ready to start a new school year. We are excited to “get back to normal” by hosting the various social events for our students such as field trips to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, school dances, providing student resources, and showing our appreciation for the entire White Hill staff. These are just a sample of the efforts the Parent Club makes to brighten your child’s school experience!
Our parent club is unique as we do not do any fundraising throughout the year, rather, we ask for the following suggested donations one time to be used for the annual events and resources.
Remember, every dollar goes right back to White Hill to enhance the education of the nearly 700 children that attend our school.
$275 per student includes the following:
-
Chromebook program (classroom sets 1:1)
-
Classroom supplies (teacher’s budgets for apps, books, and supplies)
-
Binder Hospital - which helps students with organization and school assignments
-
Grade level dances
-
Back to School Night – PARTY!
-
Open House
-
Staff Appreciation Days to include lunches, gift cards, etc. to show our appreciation

About The Event
California YMCA Youth & Government has offered the Model United Nations (MUN) program to middle school students throughout the state since 2001. Middle school students (delegates) participate in the program with their peers. They are given the opportunity to discuss international issues, discover other cultures, develop life-enhancing skills, and make new friends. The program culminates when delegates from around the state meet at the annual Model United Nations Summit in Los Angeles, California. While there, they will not only learn more about the program area in which they are participating (Economic and Social Council, Non-Governmental Organizations, International Court of Justice, etc.), but they will receive training in areas such as public speaking, decision-making, cultural competency, and evidence-based persuasion.
Once at the Summit, delegates take on the roles of their country’s UN representatives, committee chairs, and presiding officers. They get to put their research and newfound knowledge to work as they perform their roles and explore how the United Nations is run. In this unique experience, middle schoolers deal with international issues that affect our world.
Meetings are on Wednesdays from January 15 to May 6 at lunchtime. Students may participate in the first two sessions to get a feel for the program before making a financial commitment by Jan 30th. Please see the attached flyer from leader, Nana Sosa for more detailed information.
