FUNding Friday - Maryland Pride
Show your Westowne and Maryland Pride by wearing Maryland flags, red, gold, and black to school tomorrow, Friday, the 29th.Your PTA encourages those who can to make a donation to fund fun and educational events, like Fall Fest 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, September 29th.
The class with the most donations will get a class party at the end of the school year! Thanks for your support, Westowne families.
Movie Night
Plan to join us on Friday, October 6th for a Pizza and Movie Night. See Sing (PG), a silly musical about a talent competition held by a struggling theater in order to boost ticket sales. Admission is free. Bring blankets to picnic in the cafeteria. We will have pizza, drinks, and snacks for sale. Doors open at 6:00, and the movie starts around 6:30.
Auction & Raffle Donations Needed
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. 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.

This trash gets turned into treasures through the various programs, including Terracycle. The recycling center is located in the stairwell of the second floor green pod, along with the Lost and Found.
Please bring the following items to school when volunteering or attending a meeting:
