On behalf of the entire Westfield Parent Teacher Council (PTC) we welcome you to a new school year! We hope that everyone had a great summer! This is our monthly hotline newsletter which will highlight upcoming PTC events for you and your family. We would like to extend a sincere welcome to our new families and a friendly welcome back to our returning families. We are looking forward to a great school year!

We look forward to seeing you at our Meet and Greet on Tuesday, August 13 in the big gym after Meet the Teacher. We will be there from 8:30 to 10:00 am, come have a bagel and sign up to volunteer for the fun activities, classroom parties, and PTC events we have in store this year. Also, if you ordered your child’s school supplies through the PTC, your supply boxes will be available at Meet the Teacher August 13th from 8:00- 8:45 am.

Here is a way you can help the Westfield PTC all year doing what you already do! If you use Amazon or Amazon Prime, have you heard of AmazonSmile?? AmazonSmile allows you to choose an organization where a portion of your Amazon purchases automatically donates. Choose ‘Westfield School Parent Teacher Council’ in the settings, then each time you shop a portion goes right to The Westfield PTC! 

Visit www.westfieldptc.org any time for updated information. As always, please send your questions, concerns, ideas and volunteer interest towestfieldptc@gmail.com.

We wish all Westfield families success in the upcoming school year!
