SAC/PTSA Gathering
Since December is a busy month for everyone, we’ll be skipping our PTSA Gathering then, but we’ll be back in January, ready to dive into planning the rest of the year.
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!

WWE SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
PTSA and Student Government Partner Up - May 2022
During ‘Hat Day’ on April 27th, WWE’s Student Government helped raise $847 to support Marshall Fire victims and PTSA voted to match the donation. Nearly $1,700 will be donated to Impact on Education, a foundation that supports the Boulder Valley School District’s staff and students. Its Marshall Fire Relief initiative provides resources to families, including school supplies, mental health support and financial support.
Giving Back To Our Marshall Fire Neighbors
Following the Marshall Fires, WWE PTSA identified initial ways to help support those impacted by the fires. Carrie Cornejo, Principal at Meiklejohn Elementary in Arvada, and her family lost their home to the fire. PTSA voted to donate $500 to the Cornejo family. The Cornejo’s also have a GoFundMe page setup here for additional donations. In addition, Monarch K-8 in Louisville had several staff that were impacted by the fire and has created a MealTrain to provide them lunch. PTSA members voted to and provided their staff with a delicious Qdoba lunch on Jan. 28th.
