Westside Elementary School Newsletter

In an ongoing effort to improve communication, each of our schools sends out a monthly email newsletter. The newsletter will be sent via email on the first Tuesday of the month.

It will include a variety of topics, including a message from the principal, a list of upcoming events, and important reminders. Please contact your child's school if you do not receive the newsletter or if you need to update your contact information.

Help Support Our School!

Even though school is out for the summer, you can still help out our school by taking part in the various programs that help us raise money for Westside. The money we raise helps to pay for school field trips, fund classroom, school activities, and is used to purchase playground equipment. Please continue to collect the items below over the summer months to help out our school.

Box Tops for Education:  We have been involved with this program for many years. Our school receives 10 cents for every valid box top that we send in. Participating products list. You can also sign up at boxtops4education.com and be a supporter. We once won $500 from one of the online contests that they offer.

Viking Village Grocery Receipts: You can also help our school by sending in your local Viking Village grocery receipts. Our school receives one percent of the subtotal of your receipt. There is a collection box in the main lobby for these.

Milk Moola: Kwik Trip Milk products are another way to help out our school. Westside Elementary School receives five cents for every milk moola cap or bag top it submits.

Pop Can Tabs: Westside Elementary School collects pop can tabs and we deliver them to McDonald's. The tabs help to fund the Ronald McDonald House, a place where parents can stay when they have a severely ill child who is hospitalized.
