Teacher Wish Lists

Dear Friends,

Throughout the school year, if you choose to give a gift to a Westgate staff member, the teacher’s and staff have created “wish lists” of things that would help us do a better job here at school.  Some are big things and some are small - all are needed.  If you plan to spend money on a gift, we would ask that you consider investing in one of these items or just making a donation - no matter how small - to your teacher’s classroom account.  By doing this, your gifts and donations can make a difference in our ability to serve your children - and nothing is more important to us than that!  The teachers and staff members are listed below in alphabetical order, sorting on last names.
