WEST PTC | WEST PTC CALENDAR | WEST SCHOOL | NCPS DISTRICT

This holiday season, we are so very grateful for our amazing faculty and staff! Please join the West School PTC as we thank them and wish them a Happy Holiday on Wednesday, December 16th. The celebration includes a festive boxed lunch delivered by Walter Stewart’s as well as a Yeti tumbler for each of them to take home. This year the teacher’s lounge was needed as a classroom so we want to provide an easy way to bring coffee from home! Please help make this occasion special by purchasing a lunch or a Yeti, or making a donation here.

Early Dismissal (12:05pm.)

No school.

Wear your green, white or Westy!
