You have made a difference in the lives of many students and their families at Westside Elementary through your donations. 

 

We will be making the official donation of all supplies and school uniforms on Thursday, December 17 at noon.  I am encouraging all who can attend to make arrangements to meet outside the school at 11:50 AM.  I spoke with the representative at the school, and the faculty and staff are looking forward to meeting our members, so they can express their appreciation in person.
