The Westgate Wire

• We will not have school on Tuesday, November 8th due to Election Day!
• Friday, November 11th is Veteran's Day. Students will be in attendance. Throughout the day, teachers will be incorporating activities that help students understand the important contributions veterans have made to our country .

The first crops were harvested from the Westgate Garden in the spring of 2015. For many years, our students studied, cared for, and harvested a variety of plants. Unfortunately, school closures and a lack of a Garden club these past two years have left our garden neglected. We now have three squads of Garden Club members eager to return our garden to its glory, including the return of our Friday Farmer's Market, but we need your help. Please visit this Garden Donation Sign Up Genius to consider donating to our school garden. You can also bypass the store and donate directly from our Amazon Wishlist. Thanks in advance for your support!

Message from the D25 Council of PTAs...

We couldn't be happier to announce that we exceeded our district goal of 9k. Our grand total for the Pack-the-Piggies fun-raiser was... $9,111.25

That total will go directly to our scholarship fund and will almost fund an entire year of scholarships. You ready for this... Westgate generously contributed $986.76 of the grand total, which we are extremely grateful for! THAT IS AMAZING!! Westgate's contributors went above and beyond.

Thank you again for helping to make this a successful event for our students' futures!

Let your imagination run (pun intended) wild! All D25 students have the opportunity to submit a design for the ABC/25 Get Burbed Challenge official race shirt and posters! These shirts will be worn by over 500 participants at the ABC/25 Get Burbed Challenge on April 15, 2023. The design winner also gets to help select the color of the shirt! Official rules and regulations and t-shirt design forms can be found at abc25challenge.org/tshirt. Submissions are due back to your school office by December 2, 2022.
