Whitnel Elementary Students recently kicked off their reading program with a big "VROOM".  Area race car drivers visited the school and brought their race cars.  Students were allowed to have their pictures made with the drivers and were able to sit in the race cars.  The boys and girls were treated with a special autograph signing from the drivers that added much excitement to the day.  Principal Annette Swanson and Caldwell County Superintendent Dr. Steve Stone, as well as other special visitors from throughout the county, read with students to kick off our "Race Into Reading" event.  Whitnel students are striving to cross the finish line and receive that checkered flag for their reading efforts.

Students in grades 4 and 5 participated in an assembly presented by Mr. Fred Haywood, a survivor of throat cancer as a result of tobacco use.  Mr. Haywood talked with students about the prevention of tobacco use and how they can grow up to live healthy lives.
