Teacher Appreciation Week was a delicious success. Thanks to your donations, as well as to Panera for their baked goods, we served meals and snacks throughout the week. We also gave your gift cards, flowers, and gym passes away to teachers and staff. One lucky staff member won a year membership thanks to Bmore FITness!

School Board Candidate Forum
Voting for our Board of Education representative is new to Baltimore County this year. Southwest area PTAs and PTSAs want to assure the public learns about the candidates. Regardless of party affiliation, all voters can chose from the five district candidates at the June 26th primary and then elect our representative in November.
The PTA Council of Baltimore County and Central Area Education Advisory Council teamed up to survey all BCPS Board of Education candidates. They have heard from all five who are running for our area.
Westowne PTA also partnered with other area PTAs and PTSAs to host a candidate forum last week. Couldn't make it? The entire video may be watched on our Facebook page. Also find candidate questionnaires and additional information on our blog.
