Thanks to the Alton Burger Palace, each month a lucky member of our staff will be randomly selected to win supper for his or her family from the Alton Burger Palace! Thank you to Pamela and everyone at Alton Burger Palace for being so incredibly supportive of our school! This month's winner is Mrs. Annie Whitten! Mrs. Whitten teaches art at Alton Elementary. Mrs. Whitten is one of the most talented people that has ever existed! We are lucky enough to have an elementary school that is more beautiful than ever before because it is filled with her murals! Mrs. Whitten works hard to put on an incredible art show each spring as well. If you ask our students, Art class is one of the most beloved classrooms in the school! Mrs. Whitten is also an amazing resource for all of our teachers when it comes to giving classroom management or behavior modification advice. Our school is a better place because Mrs. Whitten graces our halls. Mrs. Whitten says her favorite part of working at Alton Elementary is how happy the kids are when they come to art class. We all love you Mrs. Whitten! Enjoy your free supper from the Alton Burger Palace! You deserve it!
