I would like to send a special THANKS to all class parents who worked so hard to get our Directory out in a timely fashion!!

Please remember to check your “to do” piles and mail in your WS Win response cards. Only 200 tickets will be sold and we are unable to sell more. Don’t miss out!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the WIN!!!!

Warmly, Lolita

WS KIDS CARE:

WSKC has lots of great activities planned for the year – many tried and true events and a couple of new ideas.  Let’s kick the year off right by filling up the West Side Food Pantry with healthy food to support the Tri-Community and Youth Agency’s after-school program in Huntington Station.  See the attached flyer for more information about food donations and the opportunity to volunteer time at the TriCYA.

Annual Winter Coat Drive

Our Annual Coat Drive will start on October 16 and run through October 25. Please check your closets and share some warmth with others!!  If anyone has any questions or ideas for WSKC events, please contact Dana Lynch at 631-385-0344 or dana@theblacktop.net

HALLOWEEN DANCE:

Our annual Halloween Dance will be held on Friday November 1, 2013 from 5:30-7:00 PM. Please come dressed in your Halloween costume and bring a canned good donation for the Food Pantry.

This is NOT a drop off event.  All children must be accompanied by an adult. Siblings are welcome.
We are looking for volunteers to help with set up, clean up and to chaperone. Please contact Sierra Mittleman (sierramittleman@gmail.com) if you would like to volunteer.
