We had an AMAZING first week of school!
Important PTA Fundraising Information
Over the course of the school year, we plan to host Dine Out opportunities in partnership with local businesses as a way to support the Westgate PTA.
August Opportunity:
Get your dozens to support the Westgate PTA
for $12.00 per dozen!
We are part of a virtual campaign where our Westgate community has the opportunity to purchase glazed doughnuts online, then redeem for fresh-made dozens whenever you crave (no expiration), at their nearest Krispy Kreme store! 50% of the sales will go directly back to our Westgate PTA! Participating is easy, all you have to do is:
- Visit https://www.groupraise.com/offer-campaigns/45662-westgate-elementary-school-krispy-kreme-digital-dozens
- Choose the quantity & order their Krispy Kreme Digital Dozens
- Redeem their Krispy Kreme Digital Dozens
(Sales end 9/22/2024)
September Opportunity:
Save the date to take the night off from cooking -- and support the PTA, all at the same time! Thursday 9/26/24 - the Dine Out Fundraising opportunity will be at Garibaldi's Italian Eatery. (More information to come)
Reminder: We will not have school on Monday in celebration of Labor Day!
2024-2025 Room Rep Information
Are you interested in being a parent room rep for your child’s classroom this year? If so, click here to apply. Applying does not guarantee you a room rep position, as it will depend on the total number of parents that apply. Please be patient as the PTA finalizes room rep selections because it may take up to two weeks. Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Westgate!
Westgate PTA Room Rep responsibilities throughout the year may include:
- Plan the Halloween & Valentine’s Day parties for your child’s classroom--and recruit up to four parent volunteers to assist at them
- Assist your child's teacher with setting up volunteer schedules
- Welcome and mentor any new families in your classroom during the school year
- Assist your teacher with other classroom needs
