Message from POW | Spring Raffle is LIVE!

March 23, 2023

Hello Westview Families,

Lights! Camera! Action! Our Family Fun Day Spring Raffle is LIVE for you to purchase raffle tickets through the POW School Store. We have a collection of prizes worth over $5,000 from our amazing community donors and friends.

Family Fun Day- “An Afternoon at the Movies” is coming soon! Get ready to walk the red carpet and celebrate on Saturday, April 1! We still have spots from additional vendors (aka Movie Merchants) for the event, so spread the word! We had great success with the vendors from Trunk-or-Treat, so we want to invite them out to showcase their talents once again.

The POW Steering Committee has been hard at work planning and organizing a memorable and fun Family Fun Day, and we can’t wait to share it with the rest of our Wildcat Family!

Looking forward,

Emily Watts and Stefanie Rugaard

FAMILY FUN DAY RAFFLE IS LIVE

TAILGATE AND CELEBRATE

Tailgate and Celebrate will be a friendly competition where participants will decorate their car trunks according to our movie theme as well as have an activity for students to complete. The trunks will be voted on, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trunks will win a cash prize, but every trunk will leave with an award! Sign-up to host a trunk using the sign-up genius link.

When signing up for a trunk, keep in mind the theme and design of your trunk should be based on a movie. Your trunk should also have an activity or game for students to participate in and win prizes. POW will provide prizes for your trunk. Need some help generating an idea? POW can provide already-made carnival games matched with possible movie themes.

FFD trunk spots are free and will need to be manned from 1 pm to 3 pm in the 1900 building parking lot by the track. We encourage you to arrive at 12 pm (or earlier) to get parked and begin setting up for the event.

An award ceremony will begin at 2:30 pm where we will name the 1st ($500), 2nd ($300), and 3rd ($200) place trunk winners! WINNERS WILL WIN A CASH REWARD!
