Westgate families now have a bonus when they shop. If you are ordering items online or heading out to the mall, please start here at the eScrip link. When you shop at eScrip, a percentage of the sales will be set aside for our school. These funds will go towards our new playground project. Using the eScrip link, you can purchase items from many popular stores such as: Amazon.com, Coldwater Creek, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Barnes & Noble and many more. This is a new fundraiser for the Westgate PSO. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Drop us a note in the PSO box.

eSCRIP UPDATE 31 Westgate families and staff have enrolled their Safeway cards with eScrip. Every time they shop at Safeway, 3% of their purchase goes to Westgate. Your "free" money benefits all the Cougars in the den!

Why do we need to raise funds?

School fundraising has long been needed to provide our children "extras" like buses for field trips, special assemblies, visiting authors, etc. With educational budgets further stretched, fundraising has become essential for necessities such as books for the library and classrooms, musical instruments and supplies, safety patrol equipment, playground equipment, classroom supplies, enrichment programs, and many other things which are crucial to providing our children with a quality education.

Based on our PSO (Parent Student Organization) budget for this school year, our goal is to raise $35,000. We parents can make a difference, but it takes a "whole" school commitment. We all need to join together to support our two major fundraisers this year:

• Innisbrook Wrap
• Westgate Walk Fundraiser

Another way you can help support our school is through corporate matching funds. If you work for a company that participates in this program or you are not sure and would like some information, please contact Candy Gaul @ (425) 776-5619 or send an email to ccgaul@comcast.net. All of your questions, comments and ideas are welcome.

With your support, we will continue to provide our children with the necessities and the "extras" that will afford them a complete and well rounded education.

Thank you for supporting our school!

Here are some other ways that you can help Westgate:

Box Top For Kids

Earn cash for Westgate by just buying groceries. Check out the products that you purchased. If they have a symbol similar to this on the package, cut it out, save it and send it in with your child when you have collected a few. Westgate collects these throughout the year. Sometimes neighbors will even collect these for you if you ask. The more we receive the more items we can purchase for the extras that make lessons and learning that much more enriching.
