| Annual Auction - Friday, November 11 |
Who says you have to travel to Vegas for a fun night of casino action?
Make plans to attend the Westwood Fall Fling on November 11th and enjoy your favorite casino games as you compete for fabulous prizes.
This year, the Fall Fling will be held at the Crowne Plaza on Midway - right across the street from the high school. Bid on exciting trips, great restaurant meals and even get a little of your holiday shopping done- then step into the casino for a night of fun!
The 2011 Fling is shaping up to be the biggest, most exciting auction in Westwood history - so don't miss out. |

This year, we are doing Class Projects a little differently for the auction. Instead of doing craft projects for each individual class, we are combining the classrooms by level and planning a themed trip.
Each grade level will come up with an idea for a trip, then work together to assemble all the parts. It can be anything from a romantic getaway to New York for two, a family trip for four to Disney or a weekend getaway in San Antonio. The more creative, the better! We need to first determine what resources we have available in each level. Do you have airline miles you would be willing to donate? How about hotel points? Maybe a time share week at an exotic location or a lake house. Of course, you can always just make a cash contribution to buy all the little things that go along with a trip - travel guide, luggage, gas, etc. Nothing is too small - we want to get everyone involved. Please contact your room parents with any help you may have. |
We are looking for volunteers to chair the 2012 Fall Reception. This is a great way to get to know the parents and staff. Please contact Donna Morgan at Rule62.86@gmail.com or 214-417-5167. Donna will be happy to walk you through the process. |
Missed registration for the Fall Sports? Be sure to keep up with the latest sports news by reading Cat Tracks, the PBC Newsletter "Paw Prints", flyers in your child's Gold Envelope or even join our Facebook group "The Westwood School Parent Booster Club". Updates on upcoming PBC sports, registration deadlines and events can be found in all of these places.
Start thinking Winter Sports soon! Winter Flag Football for boys and girls of all ages, basketball for boys and girls ages 2nd through Middle School, and a one-weekend 3v3 soccer tournament for boys and girls of all ages will all be offered in the coming months, so look for more information and start recruiting your classmates to join you for a team! Moms and dads, we will need volunteer coaches as well.

Everyone is encouraged to volunteer. There are many opportunities both small and large to be involved in the Westwood community. Some of these opportunities include writing thank-you notes to donors to the annual auction, working a shift in the Spirit Store, and volunteering at the Auction. This is a great way to make new friends and meet the parents of your children's friends.
