The Westgate Wire

Below are a few things to put on your radar.

• Although Westgate is a mask recommended environment, masks are still required on all buses and taxis transporting students.
• We are in the process of adjusting our lunch procedures to a pre-pandemic structure. More information will be shared next week.

All are welcome at the PTA meeting on Wednesday, March 2nd at 7:00 p.m. Feel free to join in person or via Zoom via the link below. Coach K will join us to share a presentation on the new heart rate monitors that PTA was so generous to purchase!

There are more people than just us and the American Heart Association that are thankful for your support… We have a short thank you video from our friend Everly for you:

Are you ready to Pack the Piggies? The Arlington Heights Council of PTA’s (AHC-PTA) funds $11k worth of scholarships each year. The scholarships are divided into $10k for graduating D214 seniors and $1k given to D25 elementary students. This March, the AHC-PTA will be initiating our first ever “Pack the Piggies” fun-raiser across the district to help raise funds for the scholarships.

The contest begins March 14th and goes thru March 17th. Each school will have a goal of raising $1k. If the goal is attained by a school, they win its predetermined prize chosen by the principal. Some schools will silly string or slime a staff member, while another school’s prize will be to have the principals work from the rooftop! Please help your students reach their goal by having them bring in coins, cash, or checks to pack their school’s piggy! Let’s have some fun for a great cause!
