Thanks to all who helped make the Welcome Back Lunch and Sneak a Peek great experiences for our community. Your PTA is excited about a new year, in a new building, surrounded by familiar faces.
Membership
Now's the time to become a new member or renew your annual membership. Membership is not a commitment of time or financial resources. Instead, membership is the first step to participate in the PTA’s cause: supporting the school community, including the faculty, staff, families and most of all, students.
Sign up today by sending the attached file with dues into school in your student's folder, or sign up in person at Back to School Night. Thank you!
Westowne's going to Camden Yards on Sunday, September 25th, at 1:35. Tickets are $15 each, support the PTA's 5th Grade Committee, and will be available for purchase at both Back to School Nights.
School Directory
This year, your PTA is creating a school directory with the help of Join Our Class. Parents and caregivers may choose how much contact information to share (such as just your student's grade, name, and an email address). Participating in the directory is the best way to reach your children's classmates and to give out party invitations, which cannot be distributed at school.
Sign up at the PTA table at either Back to School Night.
Box Tops for Education
Box Tops are a surprisingly important source of revenue for Westowne PTA.
Pledge your support with your Box Tops labels during our Clipboard Collection Drive. Box Tops will generate a personalize collection sheet for you to print. Each collection sheet of 25 or more unexpired Box Tops will give your student a chance to win a gift card to sweetFrog in Catonsville. Just turn in completed sheets to school by Friday, September 9th. Additionally, the class that collects the most throughout the school year will win an end of year party.
Keep on clipping!

Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 29th from 3:00 - 6:00. It will be a family-friendly afternoon full of games, entertainment, a raffle, a silent auction, concessions benefiting the PTA's 5th Grade Committee, and more.
