September is upon us!
We currently have over 200 PTA members for the 2026–2027 school year, but our goal is to reach at least 275! Membership is $8 annually (valid July 1–June 30). Joining doesn't mean a huge time commitment—you can participate as much or as little as you'd like, whether that's volunteering at school, helping from home, donating items, or simply signing up to show your support. PTA isn't just for moms, either! Dad, grandparents, community members, and students in 6th grade or above are all welcome to join. Sign up today at western.givebacks.com/store.
Spirit Wear orders are open through September 18th! You can preorder online at western.givebacks.com/store or send an order form to school with cash or a check. All orders will be sent home with students before fall break.
We need volunteers for our upcoming Book Fair and Grandparents Week on September 15, 16, and 17, as well as Picture Day on September 18! It takes a village, and we need all hands on deck to help this week run smoothly. Please check out the SignUpGenius links below to jump in and help us make it amazing for our students!

Want to support our school community? Here are a few easy ways you can help us stock up:
Amazon Wish List: Check out our list of needed supplies here: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1TOBIT94UW7S3
Local Gift Cards: We use these as prizes and appreciation gifts for our amazing staff and students.

Any contribution is greatly appreciated—thank you for your generosity!
We are also looking for individuals or local businesses to sponsor a monthly Sunshine Cart for our staff in October, November, December, January, February, or April. A sponsorship is typically a $200 donation, and we're happy to handle all the shopping and setup for you! You are also welcome to purchase or make items to hand out yourself. Please reach out if you'd love to bless our staff this year.
Speaking of helping out, we would love to have more volunteers on board! If you're interested in getting involved in any capacity, let us know—we’d love to plug you in.
Blessings.
Lorie Jerome, WES PTA President
