Gifts that Give Back

This year our PTA has several fundraisers running in November and December to coincide with the holiday season and to help families with their holiday shopping! Gifting through our Gifts that Give Back Holiday fundraiser is a gift to everyone at West View Elementary!

Below is a list of the six businesses we are partnering with so you can start thinking about your holiday list. You may already be planning to purchase things like chocolates, coffee, and candles for someone on your holiday list. Ordering from the below (mostly) local businesses gives a significant portion of the cost back to West View PTA and to Pittsburgh based businesses.
