Dear Westgate Community,
I hope this finds you having a wonderful week. We are certainly ready for warmer weather coming soon and I hope you have plans to enjoy the outdoors this weekend.
This week's Positivity Project character trait is integrity. Integrity is
doing the right thing when nobody is watching. People with integrity practice
what they preach and maintain a consistent pattern of behavior aligned with
their values. They have the courage not to follow the crowd if it means going against
their beliefs. Integrity is closely linked with the terms of honesty and
authenticity. People with integrity tell the truth and have alignment in their
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Ask your child what integrity means to them!
Friday, April 13th is a two hour early release for students and Monday, April 16th is a student holiday. Please make sure you are aware of these changes and schedule accordingly.
We will be hosting Kindergarten Orientation for rising Kindergarten students this Monday, April 16th at 9:00 am in the cafeteria. If you have a rising Kindergarten student please plan on arriving around 8:45 am so you are able to drop your child off in one of the classrooms before the presentation begins. We look forward to meeting our newest Westgate Wolves on Monday.
Join us TONIGHT for our PTA Auction. Come support Westgate and go home with some awesome deals. See below for details. Registration starts at 6:00 pm and bidding starts at 6:30 pm. We hope to see you there!
Thank you for your continued support of all things Westgate. Have a wonderful rest of your week and a great weekend ahead!
All my best,
Hallie Demetriades
Principal
You are invited to the
Westgate Silent Auction on Wednesday, April 11th.
A silent auction is an event
where individuals can bid on items such as an Autoban Indoor Kart racing pass,
a coupon for Wintergreen Resort activities, a Total Wine tasting event for 20,
Great Country Farms Farm Passes, and Ziplining tours at Sandy Spring Friends
School for majorly discounted prices!
What is Westgate's Silent
Auction?
Many area businesses, stores,
and restaurants have donated items or experiences to the Westgate PTA. You and
your fellow Westgate parents will bid on these items. Whoever has the highest
bid pays that price for the item and gets to take it home! Usually what you end
up paying for the item is less than its actual cost.
Additionally, faculty at
Westgate have also donated their time to spend with your child. Win a chance
for your child to bowl with Coach H and work with Mr. Bishop for the day!
All the profits will be used to
pay for technology at Westgate.
And no, this is not a
"silent" event! This event is filled with lots of laughter, music,
fun, and even food! Childcare is provided by the PTA for Westgate students so
come enjoy a kid-free evening!
Last year, families walked away
with great prices on some fun family activities.
Join us! We'll show you how it
works and maybe you'll win a great prize at a great price!
