WWE’s Annual ‘Parties with a Purpose’
Kicks Off for the Holiday Season
During the holiday season, WWE students turn their focus to support our community for its annual Parties with a Purpose initiative. This is an opportunity to serve others by donating needed items and helping students to experience the purest of joy this time of year has to offer! Each grade level selects a local non-profit or organization and collects items needed for the holidays. In addition, during each class party, Pack Parents incorporate a purposeful activity that brings the focus full circle.
Grade-level SignUp Geniuses information is below. All items can be brought into your student’s classrooms starting Tuesday, Nov. 28th. Please look at each grade level for donation deadlines as they vary a bit based on each organization’s timing.

Pumpkin Drop 2023 is Smashingly Fun!
PTSA’s Annual Pumpkin Drop was another fun day watching pumpkins drop and smash -- all to raise funds for WWE's sister school, Slater Elementary -- with more than 100 pumpkins dropped and over $520 raised! Slater Elementary Principal Brooke Tolmachoff and some of her staff were on-hand to watch meet our West Woods community.
A big shout out to Arvada Rent-Alls for donating the scissor lift, Community Farms for taking our smashed pumpkins to help feed their livestock, and we could not do it all without Arvada Fire Captain Tim McMahon to drop the pumpkins and his crew of WWE dads --Tim Dillon, Jason Eaton, Ryan Kvamme and Jeff Sanderson!
If you didn’t have a chance to pay for your pumpkin to be smashed or would like to contribute toward the Slater Elementary fund, there is still time to donate via Venmo at @westwoodsptsa.
