Foley-Diaz Advocacy Update (9/18 - 9/22)
Hi Families,
Last week, our weather reminded us of the need for coats, jackets, and possibly different shoes. Please make sure to double-check that these items have your student's name. I am sure you can imagine how many un-named items find there way to our Lost and Found during the colder months.

- Students are encouraged to bedazzle, paint, tear, decorate, or sew their t-shirts, so they can display their “Wild Style” as they raise awareness and funds.
- Our goals are to change behaviors, and raise awareness and funds to support health, wellness, and fitness at Westgate. Give on behalf of your student at: Wild Style Fun Run Donations

- Water and Snacks: As a reminder, to insure that your student is getting enough to drink, please send your child a spill-proof, reusable water bottle, that is labeled with their name. There is a snack time in the morning during Literacy, and in the afternoon during Advocacy. Healthy snacks are always the best option. As with their water bottle, please make sure your child knows which food is theirs.
