Below is a list of ways Westgate parents can help the school raise money. Westgate has no other source of income except the tuition and fees paid for services, and these various fundraisers in which our parents can participate. We encourage every family to get involved with as many of these opportunities as possible. Monies earned through all of these methods go to support the operation of the school and improvement of school programs.

Westgate Waiver$
This program warrants a page of its own here on our website. Parents can purchase gift certificates for restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, and just about every other vendor you might frequent. You pay $100 for a $100 gift certificate, but then that company returns a percentage back to our school. If your purchase was $100 and their discount was 4%, two percent is credited to the school, and two percent would be credited to your family. This is a great fund raiser and it doesn’t cost you anything!

Businesses can use their credit cards to purchase gift certificates and designate Westgate as the recipient of any discounts. You can find out more about this program by visiting this website: www.rewardsandmoregiftcards.com

Green and Gold Gala
This will take place in early March in a church or banquet center in the immediate area.  We’re encouraging parents to help us gain corporate sponsors for the event as well as gather items for auctioning.  A committee of parents and staff members will organize this event, and we would love to have your help. We hope to make this the most fun and the most profitable fundraiser of the year.  Contact Mrs. Barratt if you are willing to contribute to the Gala’s success.

Butter Braids
We’ll sell BUTTER BRAIDS in October and they will be delivered in November - in time to serve to those out of town guests who come for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Boxtops 4 Education
Each time your family uses a General Mills product, look for the BOXTOPS 4 EDUCAITON label on the package. Cut that label off and save it. Ask friends and family to save them as well. This program brought in over $2000 last year! Send in the Boxtops to your child’s teacher as soon as you get three or four. We’ll have a definite deadline in March by which to have them all turned in, but it is easier for our coordinator if they come in regularly rather than have so many at the last minute. For more information, check their website: www.boxtops4education.com.

Target Credit Card
Target offers a percentage of everything you spend through your Target Credit Card back to Westgate. You simply apply for a Target credit card and name Westgate as your charity of choice.

Friday Nights With Luigi and Raffaeles
Luigi and Raffaeles offers great Italian cuisine and you can dine there any Friday night; identify yourself as a Westgate supporter; and a portion of your purchase will be sent back to the school.  Great place to start your weekends!

Chick Fil A in Chesterfield - Parents (and friends and family) who dine at the Chick Fil A restaurant in Chesterfield can identify themselves as Westgate supporters and a portion of their meal will be credited back to Westgate.  The specific nights that this applies will be announced through emails and here on the website calendar.
