Check out this cool opportunity to support our Westies!
Westside's GT classes purchased a button maker with funding from a donation made by CF Industries. Students worked out a business plan to make and sell buttons to classmates. Principal Hinds approved their plan, and the group promised to gift her the first button.
Button sales will begin in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades next week on February 1st. Each button will cost $1.00
Plans for offering button sales to younger Westside students are in the works. Proceeds will be used to purchase replacement supplies, fund GT projects, and donate to Westside activities.
