Fall Clubs
Registration forms for the PTA's Fall Clubs, which run for 6 sessions starting in mid-October, will be sent home this week and next. We are offering the following clubs for 2nd-5th grade students:
Holiday Shoppe Donations
Holiday Shoppe is one of Westowne's most beloved traditions. In December, students shop for gifts from a selection of gently used items including mugs, toys, holiday decorations, knickknacks, accessories, handmade crafts, and more. Families and community members donate these items so that there's plenty of stuff for our children to chose from. If you have donations, please hang on to them for now if possible. In mid-October, we'll have easier access to the PTA storage closet. You can then bring your items in plastic bins or boxes on Monday afternoons, 3:00 until dismissal or Wednesday mornings, arrival until 10:00.
Can't wait? Let us know so we can arrange a time for drop off. Thank you!
