Christmas Program DVDs
I attempted to upload the Christmas Program videos, but the files are too big. Couldn't do it!!! However, we were able to create DVDs, thanks to Ms. Brundidge's son. We plan to sell them for about $6 each. We will send out flyers hopefully on Dec. 15th. You will be able to purchase DVDs in the front office. Proceeds will go towards upcoming PTA events.
Pictures With Santa
Westview's PTA sponsored Pictures With Santa as a fundraiser for upcoming PTA functions. Thank you for your support.

WES Christmas Program Preparations
A hearty THANK YOU goes out to all of the teachers and parents who spent the majority of their Saturday working on the decorations for our Christmas Programs on the 12th and 13th. I wish I could have taken before and after pictures to show how much work it took to get everything ready. Stay tuned for pictures and videos of the programs.

Gold Award of Distinction
A representative from the USDA awarded 5 Phenix City elementary schools with a Gold Award of Distinction for serving healthier meals to students. Out of 100,000 schools across the country, only 2000 schools achieved this award. That equates to roughly 2% of all the schools in the United States. Westview is proud to be among that 2%. There was an awards ceremony held at the Phenix City Activity Center honoring the elementary schools in our school district. Alabama had the most schools receiving this award out of all 50 states.

K-2 Christmas Luncheon
Our K-2 Christmas Luncheon will be on December 8th. The regular lunch schedules should not be affected. Kindergarten classes start eating around 10:25am daily. Please remember not to park in No Parking zones. This creates the atmosphere for accidents!!!

Our Accelerated Reader (AR) billboard is located in the foyer of the main building. AR is a motivational reading program designed to encourage our youth to read. Students choose books on their grade levels to read and then take tests based on the main idea of the books. Students progress to various point levels and earn rewards along the way. The AR billboard displays the various point levels along with pictures of the students. At the end of last school year (2010-11) we gave away 7 bikes with the help of Continental Carbon. These top awards were given to the top 7 AR students at Westview. This year we will do something similar. In the meantime, checkout the billboard to see if your child is on the board and please encourage them to read at home!
