AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT (ASE) PROGRAM

The PTA is thrilled to announce the Spring 2012 After School Enrichment (ASE) schedule! These optional 60-minute classes provide your children a chance to explore and develop a variety of new interests. We’ve developed a fun, interactive and skill-building environment. It’s all done for you--great instructors, unique topics, and yet you don’t have to ferry them to class yourself! This spring you’ll find some of your old favorites as well as some new and exciting additions  Classes are held from 2:20-3:20pm on either Wed or Thur.


BOOK DRIVE IN HONOR OF MRS. MIK'S 60TH BIRTHDAY
week of FEBRUARY 27th - MARCH 2nd

Students can purchase a book label for $20.00 to be put in a brand new hardcover book that will be placed in our Media Center.  At the time of purchase, students and families will sign the book label in honor of Mrs. Mik.  The labels will be for sale each morning in the courtyard for $20.  (Please make all checks out to Westchase PTA and in the memo section write "Mrs. Mik Book Drive").
Also, a PTA representative will be selling the labels on March 1st during conference night in the courtyard.
In conjunction with the book drive for our Media Center, we will also be collecting new or gently used books to send to JUST Elementary in memory of Mrs. Mik.  Books may be dropped off in the courtyard each morning or on conference night.
