Connecting Parents to Westridge (Information from Westridge’s PTO)

We need more parents to join the PTO.  It does not cost money, only your time.  Unfortunately, we do not have enough help.  Things will stop happening if we don’t get more volunteers and people coming to the meetings.  We do birthday gifts, Red Ribbon Week, Candy Grams, Carnival, Field Day, Teacher Appreciation, school shirts, the bulletin board in the entry, and so much more!  Our meetings are monthly, and little ones can come with you!  

Teacher Appreciation Week: Teacher Appreciation Week is this week.  We are doing different snack options for the teachers/staff every day.  We will also give away five gift cards to teachers in a daily raffle.  On Wednesday, we will be outside the lunch room with different prompts for the students to write a note to their teacher.  Please sign up to provide snacks and gift cards.

• Sign Up for Faculty & Staff Treats

Birthdays – Remind your kiddos if they have a birthday this month to check the bulletin board in the east hall for their name.  They can then take that to the office for a special birthday treat. 

School Shirts – If you are new to the school and your child has yet to receive a Westridge t-shirt, please get in touch with us via Email with a way they have been respectful, responsible, or safe, and we will make sure they get one.
