Mabel's Labels

Each month at Westgate, several unlabeled items are brought to the lost and found. You can help us reduce the number of items in the school's Lost and Found, and earn money for Westgate! Westgate School Council has launched a fundraising program with Mabel's Labels, a company that provides durable personalized stickers at an affordable price.

Some items such as the peel and stick labels are dishwasher and washer safe, so you can use them on water bottles, sweaters, gloves, and hats! As an added benefit, Westgate School keeps 20% of all orders. Please help us by using these great labels on ALL the items you send to school with your kids.

To place an order, go to the Westgate School website and click on the Mabel’s Labels button on the home page. If you require assistance placing an order please call 1-866-306-2235 (option 3) or email fundraising@mabelslabels.com.

Thank you for supporting our fundraiser and helping to reduce the number of unidentified items in the Lost and Found.

Terry Fox Fun

For the past three weeks during PE, students have been practicing and preparing for the Terry Fox Run.

Every year, we complete the journey from St. John’s Newfoundland to Victoria, B.C. Students run laps outside around the field, for each lap they complete they receive a popsicle stick which represents 1 km.

On Thursday, September 29th  from 1:45 - 2:20 pm,  all Westgate students and staff will be running the Terry Fox Run outside on the field. Please dress your children for the weather, we will run rain or shine. Parents are welcome to join us in completing our run.

If you wish to make a donation, students are welcome to bring a “Toonie for Terry” in support of the Marathon of Hope. All funds raised will go to the Terry Fox Foundation.
