Whitehills Science Club Meetings
All meetings start at the final bell at 3:40pm, with students gathering in the Whitehills gymnasium. Meetings go until 5:00pm. Grades 2-5 have the first meeting each month and are limited to 30 kids; grades K-1 have the 2nd meeting each month and are limited to 22 kids. You must submit a permission slip before your child comes to their first Science Club meeting and you must sign up your child at least 24 hours before each meeting (registration opens one week before a given Science Club session and you'll get an emailed reminder if we have your permission slip). We also need adult volunteers to sign up to help out with activities. Please contact us if you have ideas!
