Panera Restaurant Night
It's been fun getting everyone together for restaurant nights each month. Come out for the last one this school year on Monday, May 18th. Dine in or carry out. Even pick up bagels for the next morning. Ten percent of all the evening's purchases will be donated to our PTA (no flyers or mention of the PTA necessary) to help fund the 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony.

Box Tops News
Calling all Box Tops!
Please send in all the Box Tops you have been saving at home. Even ask grandparents to send their Box Tops in! We are especially interested in getting the ones that expire on 6/1/2015. If Box Tops for Education does not receive them by the expiration date, they are invalid. We can not claim the money from any expired Box Tops. Please don't throw money away! Scour the cabinets, pantry, fridge and freezer--and send those Box Tops to Westowne.
Also take a moment to enter this Box Tops contest for a chance to win 10,000 bonus Box Tops for our school.
