THANK YOU
from Westbrook Glen Grove PTA
We want to thank the Westbrook - Glen Grove community....your support of the PTA, and it's programs, has been a vital part of this school year.
We hope everyone enjoys the fall break and has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We also want to thank our WBGG community for their incredible support these past few weeks and highlight some recent events:
Westbrook Fall Book Fair and Literacy Night were an enormous success! We want to thank Westbrook Staff and many family volunteers (including Book Fair Team - Laurie, Rachel & Megha) and for all of their help at the Book Fair. We also want to thank our families for their donations at our PTA Book Swap table, and to Leads Ashley and Terri!
The Westbrook Veterans Day Event was so very memorable. Event leads Jessica and Kate planned a well-attended breakfast, speeches, a Second Grade musical performance (thank you students and Mrs. Meister!), patriotic artwork (thank you students, teachers, and Mrs Feit!), and a festive parade through the WB halls!
Our first WBGG Parents Night Out was so much fun! Parents gathered at Grandpa's Place for cocktails and conversation. So much fun was had by all - looking forward to connecting and celebrating again soon!
Our WBGG Holiday Helpers Team (Mary, Amy, Amber & Megan) worked incredibly hard on this special program, and expedited the process so that families would recieve their holiday shopping and grocery giftcards before Thanksgiving. We are proud of our community families and WBGG staff for their support!
