Our Annual Events
In collaboration with Westover administration and teachers, we host and support many events throughout the year. Whether to gather and have fun as a school community or to support fundraising efforts, parents like you help us make our events fun and memorable for the kids. Please consider volunteering your time or sharing your resources.
Fall Book Fair
September 25-September 29
Our Scholastic book fair is a great way for kids to see what's new and learn how to "shop" with their class. Parents can send money in a marked envelope but we highly encourage you to set up an eWallet (so they don't lose the cash). Link below.
All students with an eWallet will receive a free homework pass!
This year we are also partnering with Emmet's Book Drive to support their amazing organization and our own school's book collection.
