PTA Meeting
Please join us next Tuesday, April 12th, at 7:00 in the school library for the monthly business meeting.
Box Tops Raffle
Drum roll, please! We are just $68 away from our goal of collecting $1200 worth of Box Tops this school year! Help us reach--or exceed--that goal by continuing to clip and submit Box Tops.
Your Box Tops collection sheet designs are due this coming Monday, April 11th. Thanks to those who have already sent them in! If your student would like to enter the raffle to win a Crayola art kit, too, take some time this weekend to get creative with displaying your Box Tops on a sheet of paper. Please remember:
PTA Thanks
Thanks to Pajama Day chairs Megan Shawker and Stephanie Pritchard for helping your PTA raise funds each month in such a creative and fun way. Thanks to all the families who chose to participate with donations. Also thanks to our growing number of contributors to the Go Fund the PTA campaign, including the Kolarek family.
Direct support means asking membership to buy commercial fundraiser products less often. As 100% profit, direct support results in more opportunities to provide educational enrichment, family involvement, and school support. We hope you're excited about upcoming PTA sponsored events, including an author visit by Jennifer Keats Curtis, Teacher Appreciation Week, and Field Day.
Corporate Sponsors
We'd like to thank the following businesses for supporting the Westowne community this year:
Platinum Level PTA Sponsors
Subway Restaurant Event

Safe Routes to Schools Survey
The Westowne PTA is currently in the process of applying for a federal Safe Routes to Schools grant in order to secure funds for improving the pedestrian and biking infrastructure in our neighborhoods. Families, please take 5 minutes to complete an anonymous parent survey that will help us with the grant proposal.
This is a great opportunity for our area to finally have connected sidewalks, appropriate school zone signage, and crosswalks that are safer for everyone. The survey will also be distributed in paper format through your children's folders this week. Please fill out the online survey OR the paper survey; we only need one per family. Thank you!
