Your WestWood PTC Update
October 2018
The latest and greatest from the PTC...
Ice Cream Social Night was a little rainy and stormy, but we were still able to have some cold treats, play in the gym, win some prizes, and participate in some parent info meetings. Thank you, teachers, for the presentations! Thank you, Gina Gertner, for planning the event!
Spirit Week was a fun week of crazy hair and spirit! Thanks to everyone who remembered to help get their child out the door a little differently! It is fun to have fun!
Movie Tickets are on sale now until the end of the week for the Family movie series at the Emagine Lakeville theater. For just $6, attend every weekend movie through November 10 & 11. Check Kirsten's Seesaw post with the yellow flyer if interested. Thank you Becky Smith for handling ticket sales!
WestWood T-shirts have a new design to bring some pride to All School Meeting days! They are available to purchase on FeePay until the end of the month - act now!
The WestWood Student Directory is created each year for families to use to communicate with other families. Please use this link to enter your information by October 12th. (If you do not fill out this form, your student will not be listed in the directory.) The information will be compiled and published through Seesaw for you to view at a later date.
