Westside School

The holiday season is here, and it’s the perfect time to show our teachers and staff just how much we appreciate everything they do throughout the year! We’ve got a fantastic plan that makes giving easy and inclusive for all.

Inclusion and equity are at the heart of our school community. To ensure every member of our school family is celebrated—whether they’re teaching in the classroom, supporting behind the scenes, or keeping things running smoothly—we’ve created a special Holiday Fund. 

We need help handwriting about 80 individual holiday cards for our teachers and staff. Holiday cards will be provided by the WFA and can be picked up from the front desk starting Monday 12/7.  You will write the cards at home and then return them by 12/11.  They will be distributed to teachers and staff the following week. 

Volunteers will be given a list of names and suggested messages to write, but are welcome to write a note from the heart. If there are specific staff members you would like to write a card for, please email [email protected] when signing up to volunteer.

Assignments will be on a first come/first served basis (assigned by Sat 12/5). To help share the load, we are hoping to have at least 10 volunteers to write ~8 cards each. 

Please place cards in envelopes and write the recipient’s name on the envelope. Please do not seal the envelope since we will be stuffing them with cash. Please turn completed cards into Maryanne at the front desk. Thanks so much for helping to recognize our incredible teachers and staff!
