Family Reading Night

[from Lisa Jackson, President, West's Parent, Staff & Community Org]

UPDATE

Because of the impending snowstorm, we have made the decision to postpone Monday's Family Reading Night and Pajama Party activities to Thursday, March 5th. We hope you can still come out to join us.

*****

I would like to invite you to join us at West School's Family Reading Night on Monday, March 2nd, in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday! Even if you don't already have a student at West, this is a good opportunity to come see what the school is all about. We will be having story-times, giveaways, a book raffle, a silent auction to raise money for our annual Spring Fling, and more! Oh, and did I mention it's a Pajama Party? 

So bring the kids and come on by for a fun evening. The event runs from 5:30-7pm in the West cafeteria. More details can be found on our website here.

Hope to see you there, and if you have questions, don't hesitate to drop me a note! West is at 1338 Farragut Street NW.
