The homeroom class that submits the most Box Tops will win an end of year party. The top homeroom classes are: Ms. Rees, Ms. Jones, and Ms. Robey. Special thanks to Westowne alumni who continue to send their Box Tops to us and teachers who have created their own collection sheets. We love your school spirit!
