FROM THE PTA PRESIDENT
Liz Pirnat's Announcements
Dear Bassett Families and Staff,
As we head into Thanksgiving break, I've been thinking about how thankful I am for our Bassett family, from those I met in Westlake Early Childhood PTA to those I met this fall, and every year in between.
Our school is as strong as it is because of the community we have. From the staff who greet our students with smiles every day, to the volunteers who help in the classroom, in the library, and at PTA events. Everyone is part of this community and it is a success because of you!
December Gathering
Our December PTA meeting will be a social gathering at Sibling Revelry Brewing on Thursday, December 7 at 7:00 pm. Come for a fun night out! More information and the RSVP are here.
Bassett PTA Shout Outs 
We always have so much going on at Bassett and there are always people to recognize!

Thank you to Ms. Craven, Mrs. Coffman, Kathy Eagle, Amanda Miller, and Monica Trivisonno for heading up an amazing book fair! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with making wish lists, filling wish lists, set up, and soon closing the book fair. Seeing the excitement in kids' eyes when they get to pick out their book for doing the summer reading program, is worth all the effort.
Thank you to Kelly McCann and Sarah Tabeling for planning delicious dinners for our staff on conference evenings! Thank you to all the volunteers who cooked, baked, donated items, and helped with setup and cleanup. This support means so much to the staff.
Thank you to Sasha Goodman for coordinating our Hungry Pumpkin service project and to everyone who brought in candy donations!
Thank you to Vanessa Wilhelm for hosting a fantastic Neal's Yard Remedies fundraiser and to everyone who participated! All proceeds will be donated to Bassett PTA.

Thank you for all your support and enjoy your break!
