SPIRIT OF GIVING –MONDAY, December 12th AND TUESDAY, December 13th
The Westpark Cares Club, Student Council and the PTA are joining together to present 4 charitable organizations to all of our students on Monday, December 12th and Tuesday, December 13th.
The 4 charities selected by the Westpark Cares Spirit of Giving team (after a lot of research) for the 2016-2017 Spirit of Giving event are as follows:
- Orange County Ronald McDonald House,
- the Pacific Marine Mammal Center,
- the Orangewood Children and Family Center, and
- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The Westpark Cares team will present the 4 charities to the students in the MPR. Each teacher has selected a time on either Monday or Tuesday to bring their class to the MPR to hear the presentations. After listening to the brief video presentations, our students can choose which charity or charities they would like to donate to- any donation amount is acceptable from a penny on up. Student council members and PTA volunteers will collect the donations and provide a Certificate of Donation and a candy cane to each participant. The charity will be noted on the certificate, as well as the student's name.
If you would like your child to make a donation, cash is preferable, but if you want to send a check then please make the check out to Westpark PTA, and the PTA will send a check to each charity on behalf of Westpark Elementary students. Last year, Westpark students donated over $4,000.00 to charitable organizations. Thank you for your support!
Run with us Saturday, January 7th
Race Schedule:
5k race @ 8:00 - ½ Marathon race at 8:00 - Kids 1 mile race at 10:00
We would love to see many Westpark kids (and their families) run! If you are already a member of the 100 Mile Club, you will be able to count the race towards your overall mileage. Are you interested in joining the 100 Mile Club? Come check us out Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings on the field.
If you write ‘Westpark Elementary’ on the bottom of your child’s form when you mail it, the 5K price will be $25 instead of $45. What a deal! In order to get the discount, mail in your paperwork by 12/31/2016.
Parents MUST accompany minors to the race. This is not a drop off event. While there will be hopefully many Westpark kids running, we need everyone to be supervised.
