Wildcat Challenge - Thank You!

10/8/2023 9:17 am

On behalf of the West Middle School PTCO, I wanted to thank all of the families who generously raised over $67,000 for our students at West. I’d also like to thank all of the volunteers who helped make the Wildcat Challenge possible, and especially the fundraising committee: Caroline Johnson, Laura Pilcher, Carrie Vallar and Jill Smith, headed by Kristine Mize-Spansky, who worked tirelessly alongside Principal Garcia and her staff over the last several months. We also appreciate our West teachers, who helped keep the Wildcat Challenge at top of mind for all of our students, who themselves clearly did a great job bringing the message home to all of us parents!

The Board will be putting these funds to use quickly, starting in the next few weeks with our first round of grants; these are direct requests from teachers and staff who have identified investments from the PTCO fund that can help make our students’ experience at West even better. The grant process is one of the most important and rewarding tasks the PTCO does for the school. If you have any questions or comments about the Wildcat Challenge, the grant process, or anything else, please feel free to email me at the address below. Thanks again everyone!

Wildcat Challenge 2023-24 Almost Over

9/13/2023 5:47 pm

The Wildcat Challenge is winding down and we need your help!  At this rate, it looks like we will miss our goal to fund the PTCO and help our students this year.  We would love to have a big push so we can fully support our students and teachers this year!  Last day to donate is 9/15/2023!  This Friday!  Thank you so much for your support during this challenge!  

As of 2 pm on 9/10/2023, we sit at just 55% of our goal.  Remember, we help provide teacher grants for student work, support field trips, some of our school societies and provide funding for other school needs that help our Middle Schoolers!  We have lots of fun prizes for the students!  Drawings, individual prizes, class prizes, there is something for every student with a donation in their name!  Please reach out to family, friends and neighbors!
