Around West Lake!
PTA is already working
PTA pays for agendas for all students in grades 2 through 5. If you want to help offset that cost, you can through Memberhub when you purchase your membership. Just add an agenda to your cart!
Teacher kick-off
The PTA helps support our teachers with a yearly kick-off event and a T-shirt for the year! You will be seeing these T-shirts on our teachers thanks to PTA members--thanks, Shanna Kane!--and your support!
It's going to be a great year!
The PTA board has had the pleasure to witness the hard work that the admin and teachers are putting in to make this a great year! Take a moment to notice and acknowledge their efforts on meet-the-teacher night!
Giving back through Pop Tabs!
West Lake Elementary school is very fortunate to be able to give back to our community through the Ronald McDonald House Pop Tab program. The Ronald McDonald House helps house the families of children who need hospital care. Grade levels compete to see who can give the most pop tabs throughout the year. At the end of the first semester, the grade level with the most pop tabs will have a special treat from the PTA! So, please save and have your child bring in those tabs to deposit them in their grade level container in the hallway across from the media center!
Let's stay connected!
