The Westgate Wire

It has been a great week!

Below are a few things to put on your radar...

• A huge THANK YOU to the PTA Fall Fest Committee for planning a fabulous event for Westgate Families last Friday! PTA does an amazing job of planning free events designed to connect us together, and this is made possible by the membership money that is collected as well as other fundraising events. Please consider supporting PTA fundraisers so we can organize special events for Westgate families!
• Please consider donating to ABC/25! ABC/25 is a wonderful organization that benefits the students and staff in District 25. Each year Westgate staff have been been awarded grants to fund educational materials for our students. We currently have 19% of our families donating. Our goal is to at least 25% of our families supporting this organization. Click here if you would like to support ABC/25.
• Just a reminder that bus drivers will start checking bus passes starting on Monday, 10/2. If your child rides the bus to/from school, please be sure they have their bus pass with them.
