Friday Memo – December 2
Friday, December 2nd, 2011
Westgate Community,
Your fundraising committee and the Board of Directors would like to remind you of the importance of the annual giving campaign that will be running until December 31, 2011. As you may be gathering with family and loved ones over the upcoming holidays, please remember to share with them what Westgate means to you and your family and allow them the opportunity to support our school.
Our school depends on fundraising. We understand that asking people to support our school may feel uncomfortable and awkward. However, many people who see the impact Westgate has made on your children may be more than willing to support our cause. As the fiscal year ends, many people are looking to make charitable contributions to various organizations. Allow those people the opportunity to support a place where children are not only growing academically but also in faith and character.
Sincerely,
Melanie Bishop, Curtis Thompson, and Julie Turner - Fundraising committee members
Prayer Meetings
We are still having the Prayer meetings in the Lion’s Den every Monday morning for parents to attend with the intention to pray for the school, its students, and for the teachers/classes. I have offered to compile prayer lists for the meeting. Parents and Teachers can e-mail prayer requests to Sheri Michael to get the word out. Have them write “Prayer Request” in the Subject Section to make sure she does not accidentally over look the e-mail.
Want to earn Box Tops without spending any money?
Remember to take a look at the General Mills offers, part of the “click and earn” program. The video clips are advertising, and some require you to share with a few friends, but all of them will explain what is required of you at the beginning. Bottom line; this is a great way to earn extra Box Tops for Westgate and all it costs is your time.
Please take some time to explore this program;
