Your WestWood PTC Update
May 2018, where did the year go?!
Whoa, one month of school to go...
As we close out the year, a big THANK YOU shout-out to all of our AMAZING volunteers this year! If you brought a salad to a conference dinner, worked a toss game at Family Fun Night, coordinated an event, taught a Bravo or Art Adventure class, gave input at a PTC meeting, or helped complete one of the million other tasks that somehow got done, THANKS! And if you enjoyed it, please tell a friend!
Speaking of THANK YOU's, did you know May 6th-11th is TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK? A thank you note shows kindness and goes a long way - just sayin'!
The WestWood PTC {still} needs YOUR help! We are now planning for the 2018-19 school year (which will be here when those 104 days of summer slip away so quickly!) and are seeking individuals who wish to make a difference and join our board! Attend our LAST meeting on June 5th or reach out to us for more information about the board positions and coordinator roles available for next year. See the list down below and don't be shy! We love new faces, new ideas, and happy helpers! Thank you to Tony Hauschildt and Gina Hendrickson for filling these shoes this past year - couldn't have done it without you!
Help WestWood PTC this summer! Please save your box tops, save your milk moola caps, and use AmazonSmile for your online shopping!

PTC Meetings
All are welcome! PTC Meetings are usually held the first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 in the WestWood Media Center. Our FINAL meeting is Tuesday, June 5th at 6:30. Hope to see you there! (And childcare is available too!)
Here is a link to our upcoming meeting dates. Past meeting minutes are available on our website too.
Show your support!
Online shopping? Please use https://smile.amazon.com (and select WestWood Parent-Teacher-Child Association) to earn money for the PTC at NO COST to you! More info is available on our website.
Box Top Collection Buckets are waiting for you! Please save your Box Tops and you can earn free restaurant meal certificates. Turn in 25 box tops on your collection sheet in your classroom bucket. Box Tops dividends go directly to WestWood Elementary!
Milk Moola is Kwik Trip's program of collecting cap or bag tops from Kwik Trip and Kwik Star's Nature's Touch products. Similar to box tops, you save them, wash them, and send them to school with your child and PTC turns them into CASH - like magic! There is a collection box in the front lobby for Milk Moola and box tops.
