Ben Stallings, a Westowne alum, has completed his Eagle project for Westowne. Look for the fantastic new bike rack sitting to the left of the school gym. Thanks, Ben!
PTA News
Claire's Gourmet Sale
Claire's pickup is today from 4:00 - 6:00 in the gym. Don't forget to come get your orders. And thank you for supporting events like Literature Night and Field Day.
Pajama Day Tomorrow
All students (teachers, too!) can show their school pride by wearing pajamas tomorrow. Monetary donations are a welcome but optional way for us to raise funds. The class that raises the most funds this school year will win an end of the year party. The top classes are currently:
Ms. Murray $137.67
Ms. Connolly $98.77
Ms. Jones $93.00
PE Twice Weekly Petition
This school year, students at Westowne have physical education twice a week. Next year, PE may be reduced to once weekly and replaced with a second vocal music or art class. Many families believe that continuing to offer a greater amount of gym time is beneficial for our children's learning, attention, and behavior. If you agree, consider signing this petition to let our administration know that we prefer to keep PE twice weekly at Westowne.
eScrip & Safeway Rewards
Safeway contributions, managed by eScrip, is a year round program. In 2014, we raised $1232.45. Sign up now to register your Safeway Club Card. Any payment method but a credit card will earn a contribution at Safeway. While you're at it, take a look at the other ways eScrip helps you support Westowne, like contributions for online shopping and dining out where credit card payments do earn a contribution.
Our Safeway contributions are significantly down in the last few months. If you have had difficulty renewing your Club Card for Westowne, please email our coordinator and she can help.
After School Club Schedule
The final days for Lego Robotics Clubs were yesterday and this coming Monday. These and other important dates are available on the PTA calendar. Many thanks to the team of parents (Hope, Dave, Lara, and Joe!) who brought these clubs to our kids.
