Join Us for the Winter Bazaar this Saturday, 12/7!
Get ready for an exciting day as our school community comes together to host the Winter Bazaar! This event offers a unique opportunity for students to flex their entrepreneurial skills by setting up tables to showcase their projects, crafts, or items for sale. In addition to student tables, we welcome community vendors! If you’re interested in reserving a spot to share your products with our vibrant community, you can book a vendor table. For all details and to reserve a table, visit friendsofwestside.com/events.
Students can either purchase their own tables or choose to work with classmates on a school project, allowing them to collaborate, create, and contribute. Preparations are in full swing, with dedicated time at school and the option to work on projects at home.
Every student will also be working on a business plan at school, offering a chance to gain hands-on experience in planning, organizing, and executing a project from start to finish.
Mark your calendar for December 7, and come support our young entrepreneurs and community vendors. We can’t wait to see you there!
WVMS Giving Tree
Every holiday season the WVMS Community sets up a Giving Tree to help out and spread joy to our families that need some extra support and help during the holiday season. This year the WVMS Giving Tree is located in the office lobby at school. This is an awesome opportunity to show some WVMS families some love this holiday season. The Giving Tree has “holiday wishes” on the ornaments to be filled. The Giving Tree is updated frequently as we receive & fulfill holiday wishes.
To participate: simply pick an ornament with a wish from the Giving Tree, let office staff know which wish you would like (they are numbered), fulfill the wish, and return the unwrapped wish items to the office (with the wish ornament attached or wish number clearly marked on the item/s) no later than Wednesday, December 18th. If you would like to fulfill a wish but are unable to come to school, just give us a call and we will help you pick a wish.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Felicia or Marcie or call the office at 541-355-2000.
