Recycle Your Election Yard Signs with Us!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Help us turn post-election materials into something new and useful! We’re inviting the community to bring their yard signs\u2014both the sign itself and the metal stakes\u2014to the school office for up-cycling. Your recycled signs will support creative projects here at school, turning campaign leftovers into unique, sustainable resources for our students. Thank you for helping us keep our community green!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Ended Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are noticing that many of our students struggle with free play at Safe Play time. We are working with all ages on this. Here is an article that staff read and inspired ideas of what things we could put on the playground. Open Ended Play at Recess<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any of these items we\u2019d love to use them: Materials for Safe Play (Alternate)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Us for Our Winter Bazaar on December 7!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to student tables, we welcome community vendors! If you\u2019re 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every student will also be working on a business plan, offering a chance to gain hands-on experience in planning, organizing, and executing a project from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark your calendar for December 7, and come support our young entrepreneurs and community vendors. We can\u2019t wait to see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
