Welcome to the Westgate PTA "HANDS ACROSS WESTGATE"
Your children need you! The Westgate PTA invites you to partner with us to make a difference in the education and quality of life for our children. We know you love your children and want to do the best for them. The PTA can help you do that! We all know that children learn more and have better lives when parents, school staff, students, and the community work together. PTA brings all these groups together to share thoughts and ideas about programs and activities that benefit children. Our PTA provides information and resources that strengthen these relationships.
Each school year parents, guardians, teachers and staff from Westgate come together to plan events for the students and their families, purchase needed supplies for the school and discuss education and safety issues relevant to Westgate.
The Westgate PTA has an annual budget of approximately $10,000-- 85% of which is funded by the Sally Foster fundraiser held at the beginning of each school year.
The Westgate PTA sponsors many family-oriented social events during the school year: Fall Festival held in October, Family Fun Night held in February and the Spring Picnic in May. These events are run by volunteers and paid for by the PTA.
The Westgate PTA sponsors assemblies at the school and pays for field trip buses. Planned assemblies for this school year include Atlantic Coast Theatre, "A World of Wonderful Tales," Mobile Ed Productions, "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." and the Bureau of Lectures and Artists," Rip Van Winkle."
The PTA holds a monthly meeting where the "business at hand" issues are addressed. Such issues include anything from the next social event to planning retirement parties for staff, or discussing safety issues such as bus stops or working with safety patrols. All interested persons are encouraged to attend and participate in these meetings. We sponsor such activities as Math and Science Night, and we will be assisting the teachers in Heritage Night and lending a hand with the Physical Education programs such as Hoop Shoot, Jump Rope for Heart and Field Day.
By becoming a member, your support will bring us closer to accomplishing these goals. Membership is only $10.00 per person.
The PTA encourages everyone to join and we hope to see you throughout the year at various events and meetings.
