The PTA hosts a large Basket Raffle at the annual Open House in February. Each classroom donates a Basket with a theme designated and communicated by their Open House Basket Coordinator. Those letters should be coming home soon, and all donations are due to classrooms by ***when are donations due?****.

We have two classrooms that still are in need to PTA parent volunteer to serve as Basket Coordinator. She/he would need to communicate the basket theme, collect the donations and put the basket together in a presentable fashion.

• Mrs. Rennebeck – Kindergarten
• Mrs. Stefanko – 2nd Grade

A full list of classroom basket coordinators and themes is below.

Please contact Elizabeth Streza at estreza@comcast.net if you are able to step up and serve a Basket Coordinator for one of these classrooms.

The West View Monthly calendar for September is available on PeachJar and will no longer be printed and distributed at school. If you would like a printed copy, you can download a PDF version at https://westviewpta.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/WV-Monthly-2017-09.pdf and print it at home.

On Sept. 15, the PTA will host the first Funky Friday$ of the school year – a Crazy Sock Day!

Funky Friday$ is an easy fundraiser. Each student pays $1 to participate in the theme of the day, and the money collected goes directly to the efforts to raise funds for a new front playground. So pull up your most fun socks, mix-match them, layer multiple socks up – just get funky and have fun! And don’t forget that $1!

The 2017 Science Fair informational packets with applications, will be sent home with students before the Winter Break.  Here is time line for this year’s projects:

• Jan. 10 – Project Applications are due
• Jan. 31 – Projects due to school
• Feb. 2 – Parent Night

Be sure to review your packets thoroughly for requirements and great ideas for your projects!

Box Tops for Education http://www.boxtops4education.com/ is a label incentive program that West View participates in.  Simply clip Box Tops labels, found on a variety of grocery products, and submit them for earnings for our school.  Box Tops can be turned in at any time during the school year, but our Fall collection date is Oct. 14.

Please clip, trim and bundle your Box Tops in groups of 50 (preferably in a Zip Lock bag or envelope).  Be sure to mark your students’ grade and teacher, as the top collecting classrooms earn a prize.  Questions of concerns, contact Colleen Mollenauer at colleen.mollenauer@gmail.com or Julie Matthews at julie1272@gmail.com
