Staff Appreciation Week - Monday, May 2 - Friday, May 6: Next week is Staff Appreciation Week at Weston! We have a building full of fabulous people that work hard each and every day to make Weston the amazing school that it is. The PTO will be providing lunch for the staff on Wednesday. We would like to invite each Weston family to show their own appreciation any day next week for the staff members that contribute to your child’s school experience. Staff members include classroom teachers, instructional assistants, special area teachers, resource and title teachers, custodians, cafeteria workers, and office staff. Here are a few suggestions of ways for your child and family to show appreciation: write notes, make cards, draw pictures, send in favorite treats, give flowers, or give gift cards to favorite places to shop or eat. The Weston team is there each and every day for our kiddos so let’s show them how much we appreciate all that they do!
Fundraiser Pick-Up: Our trash bag fundraiser items have arrived! Please come by Weston between 2:30-6:00 on Monday, May 2. We ask that you pick up your entire order. Please park in the North parking lot and enter Door 7. We will be in the gym! Again, thank you for supporting our classrooms and field trips.
Culver's Dine-to-Donate:WOW, WESTON! Thank you to everyone that came out to Culver’s for our dine-to-donate night! We were happily surprised by how many people were there to show their support.
