Reward Programs

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. 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!

Amazon Smile also provides an excellent opportunity to support your PTA while shopping. Spread the word to family and friends that they can support our PTA by shopping on smile.amazon.com and choosing Westowne Elementary. This program is now the best place to give with Amazon purchases. #startwithasmile
