Christy Gutt Named WCHE Volunteer of the Month, March 2018!
West Cypress is very fortunate to have wonderful volunteers who come in to help us in the Library, to help us with student lunches, and to assist our classroom teachers. They decorate our hallways and our classrooms, and they make our special events like Family Fun Night, Field Day, and the Apex Fun Run possible.
To show our appreciation, the WCHE staff elects one volunteer each month to be our Volunteer of the Month. The recipient of that honor for the month of March is Christy Gutt.
Christy serves as Secretary of the WCHE PTO, is a WCHE Library Volunteer, and helps our classroom teachers. Congratulations, Christy, and many thanks for all that you do to make WCHE a GREAT place to be.
Calling all Box Tops! Calling all Box Tops!
Please remember to save your Box Tops for Education and donate them to West Cypress Hills. The classroom with the most Box Tops each quarter wins a special prize.
And, be sure to remind Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles to save theirs, too!
Box Tops for Education labels can be found on a number of grocery items. For more information about the products that support Box Tops for Education, click here. Box Tops can be placed on this form and turned in to your child's teacher. Thanks!
Volunteers Needed During Lunch Time
WCHE student lunches begin at 10:45 and end at 1:10. We'd love to have volunteers come in to assist students with opening their drinks, opening condiment packages, passing out plastic-ware and napkins, etc. If you're looking for something fun to do any time between 10:45 and 1:10, please sign up here. Thanks!

The Lost & Found is Overflowing!
Have you noticed that you have a lot more closet space than you used to have at your house? If so, maybe it's because we have all of your coats and sweaters and hoodies in our Lost & Found.
With the frequent weather changes we've experienced lately, the Lost & Found has exploded with many very nice coats, sweaters, eyeglasses, lunch boxes, and water bottles. When you come for Family Fun Night and Field Day Competitions, please be sure to check our Lost & Found for your child(ren)'s belongings.
Chick-fil-A Spirit Night!
This is also a perfect time to stock up on gift cards for long spring evenings and upcoming graduation gifts.
