WE ARE WEST! We are simply a group of parents doing our best to enrich West for our kids, and we truly enjoy doing it. Thank you for being part of this community and for helping make West such a welcoming and special place.
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, there is still plenty happening at West, including Family Literacy Night, Field Day, and our 5th Grade celebrations. The WPO is proud to support experiences that bring our students, staff, and families together.
We would love to welcome even more families into the WPO. With open board seats, committee chair roles, and volunteer opportunities of every size, there truly is a place for everyone.
Our final WPO General Meeting of the year is Tuesday, May 12th, from 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
ย ๐โ๏ธKindy Helpers Needed! ๐โ๏ธ
The WPO is looking for some friendly faces to help our new kindy's transition smoothly into their first week of school.
Whether it's helping them get settled in their classroom in the morning, assisting at lunch, or extending a helping hand as they get packed up to go home, your support can make a huge difference!ย
Just a short time commitment is needed (approximately 30 minutes per time slot) โ but it makes a BIG impact!ย
