Sign up at the PTA table at Back to School Night.
Fall Yoga Club
Registration forms for the PTA's Fall Yoga Club, which runs for 6 weeks starting September 27th, were sent home in student folders this week. This club will be taught by future Westowne parent and yoga instructor, Nat Busbee, on Wednesday mornings at 8:15 for 2nd-5th graders.
We are also seeking an adult family member who would like to volunteer for the club. No yoga experience is required. Having a club assistant means we can offer the club to a larger group of students. As thanks, you will get first access to the club to register your own children. Please email us if you are interested.
Please register your students by Wednesday, September 20th. Send in your registration, club fee, and Participants’ Waiver. Slots will be awarded to a random selection of students. You will receive a confirmation by email before the start of the club.
