Fall Festival Thanks
We had great fun with you all last weekend! Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help, including Kindergarten Assistant Hope Riley and Westowne parent and Craft Table Coordinator, Caroline Hogg. It was the most well supported and attended Fall Festival we can recall.
And a HUGE thanks to Westowne parent and new Fall Festival Coordinator, Mary Winkfield. Job well done, Mary!
Thank you to the faculty and staff who decorated pumpkins for our contest. You outdid yourselves! Congratulations to Ms. Coe for her winning Yoda pumpkin. And congrats to Ms. Cvengros for her Stitch pumpkin and Ms. Geisler for her gumball machine pumpkin. You two tied for second place.

Box Tops
We have collected lots of Box Tops already this school year. Way to go, Westowne! Let's keep it up by completing this collection sheet now. Our first submission to Box Tops for Education is due November 1st. Please remember to only use glue or tape to attach Box Tops to the sheet, or skip the sheet entirely and send your Box Tops in an envelop or baggie. Thank you!
