Wish Your Student a Happy Birthday

Celebrate Summer Birthdays on the WWE Marquee!
Want to give your child a special birthday shoutout? Wish your
student, current, future, or even a recent grad, a “Happy Birthday!” on the West Woods marquee off 72nd Ave. this summer!
Birthday messages rotate on the marquee throughout the day of your choice and cost $20, with all proceeds benefiting WWE Student Government.
To include a summer birthday, be sure to submit your request and payment by Thursday, May 15.
It’s a fun way to celebrate your child and support our school.

School Supply Kits
It's the same nightmare every year... crowded stores, missing supplies/multiple stops, long checkout lines!
This year, skip the chaos and order everything in one click with 1st Day School Supplies. Get the exact supplies, guaranteed. Order today and avoid the last minute scramble!
NOTE: If you’ve ordered from 1st Day School Supplies before, the email comes from the name Michael Meadows.
NEW THIS YEAR: The supply kit you order will be shipped directly to the school so you can pick it up on Supply Drop Off/Meet Your Teacher night in August. This brought the price of our kits down and avoids you having to store the box for a month - WIN-WIN!!

Staff Appreciation Wrap Up
What an absolutely beautiful week we had celebrating our incredible West Woods Elementary staff with a charming English Tea Garden-themed appreciation event!
From delicate charcuterie spreads to elegant petit fours, pressed flower bookmarks, local honey favors, and those lovely vintage tea cups, every detail came together to create a heartfelt “thank you” for the people who do so much for our kids every single day.
A huge thank you to the amazing parent volunteers who gave their time, creativity, and care to help make this event so special—we truly couldn’t have done it without you!
With Gratitude,
WWE PTSA

Whether it’s for Teacher Appreciation Week, holidays, or just because, this form helps you brighten a staff member's day with something they love. Plus, each form includes a section highlighting ways educators could use YOUR help. Any support you can provide would be immensely appreciated!
