| Message from the PTG President:
Dear West Siders,
Welcome back! We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Spring break with your families.
Before the break we had our annual Sports/Game night at WSS and want to thank Mrs. Claudia Marino and Mrs. Christine Masata for chairing such a fun event. Dinner was delicious and everyone had a ball!
We would like to thank those who attended our April PTG meeting and would like to remind everyone to attend our final PTG meeting of the school year on Monday, May 8th @9:30am. This is our thank you breakfast/meeting and there is a lot of information to share. Please do all you can to attend this very important meeting. We would love to see everyone at our meeting, including those who chaired events this school year.
Please visit our website www.wssptg.com, like our Facebook page and attend our final meeting of the school year.
Warmest Regards,
Ana
