Westpark Cares

Westpark Cares is the Westpark PTA's way to give back to the community.  As a PTA we want to help set an example of philanthropy for our children.  We strive to continually research giving opportunities we can take part in as a school to make a difference in our community. 

At present, our Westpark Cares event is a shoe drive in cooperation with Angel Bins. This program collects gently used shoes that are recycled (and kept out of landfills) or shipped to third world countries to be given to those in need.

This is also a fundraiser for the PTA - if we collect 5,000 lbs of shoes we will get $3,500 that will be used for programs for our students!

You can drop off your gently used and outgrown shoes at the valet lane in the mornings or at the popsicle stand after school. Please follow the instructions below when you bring in your donation - teachers are not expected or prepared to collect your shoe donation.

Time to clean out those closets, canvas the neighborhood, call friends and family and let's get to that 5000 lb mark! Let's show everyone what Westpark Cares is all about! We will be collecting shoes between August 19th and September 18th!

SHOE DRIVE

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please pair your shoes with rubber bands or tied laces. Shoes with tapes around them with will not be accepted.
2. We will not accept unpaired shoes.
3. The shoes should be in clean and useable condition.
4. Do not drop off shoes in your child’s classrooms.
5. The shoes can only be dropped off in the morning by the valet to the parent in charge and after school at the lunch tables by the popsicle stand.
6. There will be a volunteer parent in charge at both shoe drop-off places.  They will ask you for child’s class to keep track of shoes received by grade level.

Our goal is to collect 5000 pairs of useable shoes. With your help, we can reach and surpass it!  

Thank you for your support!
