Love the Bus!
For those families that ride a bus:
February is Bus Driver Appreciation Month. this week please encourage your student to write their bus driver a thank you note, draw a picture or present them with a gift card or wrapped snack. These dedicated drivers work hard to transport our students safely each day.
Grandparents & Book Fair!
This year, we're offering an opportunity for grandparents (and other long-distance relatives and friends) to encourage and support our students' reading while raising funds for new books for our school.
The link below explains how grandparents can purchase gift certificates for students to use at our Scholastic Book Fair, which will be held Feb. 27th to March 10th. More than 50 percent of each gift certificate purchase will come back to our school in the form of Scholastic dollars, which can be used to purchase books and other learning materials.
Please consider forwarding this link to grandparents (and aunts, uncles or any other interested friends and family members) so they can take part in this opportunity. Questions can be directed to westlakepta@gmail.com.
Book Fair!!
This year, the PTA is conducting a Book Fairy coin drive the week prior to the book fair. The donation schedule is as follows:
- Monday, Feb. 20th – Pennies
- Tuesday, Feb. 21st – Nickels
- Wednesday, Feb. 22nd – Dimes
- Thursday, Feb. 23rd – Quarters
On Friday, Feb. 24th, students who donate a dollar or more will have their name added to our Book Fairy Wall of Fame, which will be displayed in the C Space during the fair, which runs Feb. 27th to March 10th.
Students should turn in donations to their classroom teacher. The class with the highest amount of money collected will receive five Gold Wallabies, and the classroom teacher will receive 25 Scholastic dollars.
