Buenas tardes/Bonjour:

Further to my message from last week I just wanted to share with Westgate families the response I received from the principal of Catherine Nichols Gunn School:

Dear Mr. Fehr:

It has been another successful year for the Christmas Store at Catherine Nichols Gunn School. This is in large part due to the donations  your school community generously provided. Hundreds of students have had the opportunity to experience the “gift of giving” as they purchased items (at significantly low prices) for their parents/guardians, siblings and other family members. The joy you have helped provide will last a life time and warm the hearts of many this Christmas season. Thank you so much for your involvement and support. 

We wish you all a fun and joyous season, 

Students and Staff of
Catherine Nichols Gunn School 

For those of you who are long time Gators the principal of Catherine Nichols Gunn is Steve Wigglesworth who used to be Assistant Pricncipal at Westgate.

Have a good evening everyone and stay warm!

Buenas tardes/Bonjour:

I would like to thank our Westgate families for so generously donating items to the Catherine Nichols Gunn Christmas Store.  Many families have also offered gift cards as a gift of dignity to our Westgate families in need of support this holiday season.  Again I would like to sincerely thank you for your kindness. These are the gestures that make our school community such a wonderful place to learn and work.

Last night our annual holiday Choir and Guitar Concert took place in the Westgate gym. The students played extremely well.  Ms. O'Laughlin, Mr. Gowan and Mr. Chapman did an outstanding job preparing the students for the concert.  Thank you to students, parents, instructors and teachers for your hard work preparing for this evening.
