LAST CALL for Auction & Raffle Donations
Our annual Fall Festival is Saturday, October 14th from 3:00 - 6:00. Please support this event with items for the Basket Raffle and Silent Auction.
Basket Raffle: We encourage families and groups of teachers and school staff to collaborate to create baskets. Families can sponsor entire baskets on their own, too. Basket themes can be anything family or child-friendly (please, no alcohol or gift certificates for alcohol). Suggestions include Harry Potter, Pampered Pooch, Minecraft, Home Movie Night, Spaghetti Night, Tea & Cookies, Baking with Kids, Science Fun, Pampered Fingers & Toes, Creative Art, etc.
We would also like to include breakfast or lunch with faculty and staff members for the students.
The Westowne Elementary Community Forum on Facebook is a great way to connect with other parents. There are a number of baskets already in the works for you to help with! If you have signed up for the school directory, you may also connect via email. Of course, word of mouth works, too.
Silent Auction: Fall Fest also provides an excellent opportunity to promote your business. Companies may make a donation--and share their catalogs or business cards at the event. We would like to feature services provided by Westowne parents and friends, too, ranging from massages to house cleaning.
Donations are tax deductible.
All donations will need to be turned in to Westowne no later than Monday, October 9th to ensure we get them organized and ready! Items can be delivered to the Westowne office. Please mark the items as “Fall Fest” donations so they are routed appropriately. Thank you for helping to make this year a success!
Please email any questions you may have to us.
