Last Friday, our Multicultural Club transformed the main lobby into a vibrant celebration of culture, community, and connection. From festive decorations and upbeat music to dancing, singing, face painting, and games, Culture Night truly brought the world to Whittier 🌎✨
Students and families hosted beautifully decorated tables representing 11 countries, each filled with artifacts, flags, photos, and incredible homemade dishes. Attendees explored cultures from the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Greece, The Netherlands, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Scotland, Tunisia, Cameroon, Ecuador, Haiti, and many others, learning new words, traditions, and stories along the way.
Highlights included hands-on experiences like learning the Brazilian game Peteca, trying dominoes at the Dominican table, trying on authentic Dutch wooden clogs, Greek dancing, Tunisian belly dancing, and Bachata lessons that got everyone moving! Guests also sampled delicious foods like empanadas, coquito, stroopwafels, harissa and pita, shortbread, and so much more.
Special thanks go to members of the Multicultural Club, Jair Martinez who served as emcee, club advisor Mrs.DiMauro, World Language teachers Ms. Nova and Ms. Light, Spanish class volunteers, Culinary instructor Mr. Boringa, and English instructor Ms. Bragg. Greater thanks go to the families who donated their time, talents and food to make the evening so special.
Thank you, Gracias, Obrigado, Merci beaucoup, Sas efcharistó, Shukrun, Bedankt !

🐾 Wildcat Wednesday 🐾
This week, we are proud to spotlight Travis Gates, IT Technician and Whittier Tech Class of 2025 graduate.
Travis began in this role during his senior year through the Co-op Program and now serves full-time on our IT team. In just two years at Whittier, he has experienced the school from both sides, first as a student and now as a professional supporting the very community that helped shape him.
Travis shares that Whittier provides opportunities that students might not find anywhere else. He values the time he spent here as a student and appreciates that those same opportunities continue to help him grow every day.
His advice to current students is simple and sincere: "Get involved. Be active in the Whittier community. Join SkillsUSA. Meet new people. As a former SkillsUSA member, Travis describes it as the most impactful experience of his time at Whittier, one that helped build his confidence and lasting friendships."
Fun fact: Travis recently made a personal pledge to explore foreign countries, beginning with England. He plans to visit many more in the years ahead.
From student to staff member, Travis represents the continued impact of the Whittier experience.
