Last summer, many of you noticed that other area elementary schools participated in the Catonsville parade, but Westowne did not a have a float. The good news is the PTA has set aside funds to participate this year, has chosen a theme (The Lion King, Jr!), and have several offers for a truck and trailer.
The tricky part? We need someone to take on this project. If you love Catonsville's 4th of July celebration and want to make sure Westowne is in the parade this year, please let us know.
PTA Thanks
Book Fair this year wasn't our smoothest on record, but we took the bumps in stride. Many thanks to Westowne parents, Melody Higgins, Megan Shawker, and Ashley Kragler. You guys are pros. And thank you to all the other parents and teachers who teamed up to make it successful. You guys make Westowne great.
