GAP DRIVE

Hello 4th grade families!


As you all know, WCE PTA grants a very large amount of money to the school each year to help fund paraprofessionals, buy technology, fund the library technologist (Mr. Jay), as well as many other things. They are currently getting ready to kick off the 20111-2012 GAP Drive to help raise funds to fulfill their commitment to the school for $136,000. There are two parties coming up on September 25th and September 30th where you can go to learn about why they fundraise and where the money specifically goes. Details of the parties can be found here as well as where to RSVP http://westerlycreekpta.com/GAP_Drive.html Of course, if you cannot attend you can always find information on the PTA website, www.westerlycreekpta.com about why fundraising is so critical to the success of our children's education. You can also ask any teacher why having paras in the classroom is so critical!

Please consider attending a party as they are a lot of fun, a great night out, good food and beverages, and also a GREAT cause! You can donate directly online if you prefer not to attend a party at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/pccwcp/


You can set up a monthly withdrawl which makes it so EASY to give and is much easier on the checkbook by spreading out your donation throughout the year!!!!

As always, the teachers and students thank you for helping to "Bridge the GAP" between the true cost of educating our children and the funds provided by DPS!!

MANY THANKS,
Noah Rabinowitz
