And finally, don't forget to join us Thursday, December 7th, from 4:00 - 6:00 for Parent & Teacher Shoppe. We can't allow parents and staff to shop before all of the students do, but stop in that afternoon to browse through the last of the treasures and to pick up spirit wear. Westowne t-shirts make great gifts. See you there!
PTA Meeting
Please note that we will not have a PTA meeting this December. Save the date for the next PTA meeting on Tuesday, January 9th at 7:00. Fifth Grade Committee members and parents, please plan to attend so we can kick off the spring projects. We have a lot planned for for your big kids and need your help.
Winter Clubs
Registration forms for after school clubs will be sent home in student folders next week. We are offering Lego Robotics for 2nd-5th grade taught by parent volunteer, Lara Mellendick on Thursday afternoons. We are also offering Art History for 3rd-5th grade taught by parent volunteer, Lauren Hill on Friday afternoons. Both clubs will run from 4:00-4:45 for 6 weeks starting in early January.
Slots will be awarded to a random selection of students who have paid by the due date on the form. Students who are placed on the waiting list will have their checks returned. Students who get a slot will receive a confirmation by email before the start of the club.

Student One Cards Now Accepted at Library
Through their Student Accounts, all BCPS students are now able to borrow up to five print or audio books at one time and have access to all Baltimore County Public Library online resources. Students who visit any of the library’s 19 Baltimore County locations may check out materials by scanning a BCPS One Card or through their student identification numbers. Online resources can be accessed on bcpl.info using a student identification number.
In an effort to be as flexible as possible with young library customers, Student Account holders will not accrue late or extended-use fees. While borrowing privileges may be blocked due to unreturned items (30 days after an item is due), accounts will always offer access to online resources and databases.
