Hello!
 
Thank you for all your support for Kindness Week!  As a class we brought in 118 items for the Food Drive.  We meet our goal as a class!
 
For this week we will focus on our Service-Learning Project which is our Culture Fair presentations.  The students in our Advocacy each picked a culture and have been researching important characteristics that they would like to share at our Culture Fair in March.  The 7th and 8th graders and high school students will be coming to check out our display boards and get their passports stamped.  We are so excited to share all of our findings with Westgate students.
