Support Our Community: Gear Up For Fall-- a WestSide Baby Drive
Gear Up For Fall — a warm clothing drive for WestSide Baby!
Are you cleaning out closets? Getting ready for Winter? Hundreds of kiddos in our community are in need. We are hosting a drive to support this amazing organization so bring in your items to the box in front of the front office and we’ll take it from there!
WestSide Baby accepts new and gently used, tear-free clothing size newborn through 14/16. See the image for a list of items they’re seeking.

Move-a-thon 2025!
Let’s get our bodies moving with a sponsored move-a-thon! This fundraiser is a simple and fun way to contribute towards our community's goals and gets everyone moving. Help us meet our goal of $10,000! All students will participate in the Move-A-Thon, and although pledges are appreciated, they’re not required. If they wish, students can collect pledges and earn money for each lap they complete in a 20 minute period. They can run, walk, skip, cartwheel - the way they move is up to them!
All pledges are due two weeks after the Move-A-Thon (due by October 15th). Please bring in any cash and checks and deposit them safely at the front office. Use this link to register your student to participate!
PRIZES
To encourage friendly competition amongst our students, there will be a limited number of prizes available. Please note, prizes are based on quantity of pledges collected, not the total amount raised.
The class with the greatest number of pledges collected (not the greatest amount raised) will win a Shaved Ice party!
The student with the greatest number of pledges (not the greatest amount raised) in each grade will receive a $20 gift card to Meeples Games, Paper Boat Booksellers, OR Highland Park Corner Store.
We will host an award ceremony during Harvest Festival (medals and all!)
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We need your help to make this day a fantastic experience for our students! Please join us for setup, running with the students, high fivers, counting laps, 1st aid station, or water station. The more volunteers we get, the more fun our movers will have. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign-up on our SignUpGenius.
