PTSA Mulch Day Fundraiser

Bulldog Parents, Coaches & Club Leaders

We need your help to make Mulch Day a success!

 

What the heck is Mulch Day?

It’s the primary fundraiser for the PTSA that funds a large chunk of the All-Night Graduation Party for the senior class and many other PTSA initiatives. We deliver over 13,000 bags of mulch to approximately 400 homes in the Westfield boundary in two days. It takes a huge number of people – students & parents – to pull this off.

Does my kid’s specific club or team benefit?

Yes! Students and parents can designate two clubs or teams to support. A pot of $6,000 is split amongst the clubs/teams that participate based on hours worked! And, your kid gets volunteer hours!

How can you help?

Volunteer for 4 hours in one of these time slots:

Shift #1: Friday, 4/26 – 4-8pm

Shift #2: Saturday 4/27 - 7-11am

Shift #3: Saturday, 4/27 - 11am-3pm

Parents DO NOT need to lift mulch bags! The students do the heavy lifting!

Here are the jobs we need filled:

  1. Navigators for our Mulch Delivery Trucks – You ride shotgun in a delivery truck, follow printed route to the delivery addresses, manage the kids unloading the truck, count the bags for accuracy and move on to the next home. This is a critical job – it’s fun working with the kids, but you need to pay close attention to correct delivery addresses and number of bags delivered.
  2. Drivers of Students – Drive students and follow the delivery trucks to the delivery homes. You may have kids you know or may be matched up with kids who just need a ride. You can choose to stay in your car or jump out and help – totally up to you!

If you are unavailable to volunteer your time, we need food donations to feed all these hungry workers!

Unraveling Teenage Angst: Stress and Anxiety in the iGen World

Presented by:

Brittney Lee, Jen Fargo, Bobbi Snyder, & Laura Cudahy

 

We don't need to see the numbers to know that student stress and anxiety appears to be at an all-time high.

 During this workshop, we will share the latest research on stress and anxiety especially as it applies to the current generation.

 We'll delve into the mysteries and intricacies of the teenage brain and we will offer strategies and resources that can be great to use one on one with teens at home.
