Your PTA encourages those who can to make a monthly donation to fund fun and educational events, like Science Night and Field Day. The donation is very appreciated but optional, and everyone can dress up. If desired, please send cash or a check made out to Westowne PTA in your student's folder on Friday, November 10th.
New this year, monthly Go Fund the PTA donations will count toward classroom totals for the end of year party. Simply set up your recurring PayPal donation and send us an email to confirm which class your child is in.
The top three classes so far are:
Holiday Shoppe Donations
Our beloved Holiday Shoppe is coming December 5th - 7th. We need donated items that students can buy as low-cost gifts for their families. Consider donating gently used toys, coffee mugs, re-gifted gifts, dad gifts--like neckties and hats, unopened spa products, costume jewelry, knickknacks, and other gently used items cluttering your basement. Please, no glass vases or wine glasses; they don’t survive the bus trip home. Are you crafty? Turn your artistic skills into donated Holiday Shoppe gifts!
Donations may be dropped off at the front office. Thanks so much for participating in this popular program.
November PTA Meeting

Enter the building through the library doors, near the car rider entrance. You are welcome to park in the bus loop.
While you're there, join or renew your annual membership. $8 for an individual or $12 for a family covers the state and county PTA dues, as well as insurance and training.
