Dine and Donate

So as this great school year wraps up I am already thinking ahead to the next. I want to hear where you all think we should do a dine and donate next school year? Leave a comment below with your opinion!

Carnival time!!

As many of you are aware the West park carnival is the weekend! I am super excited to see what is in store for this year. My son can't wait for the cake walk and my daughter is excited for the nail painting booth. There seems to be something for everyone to enjoy! The fun will be going from 11 to 4 and I hear we still need volunteers for a 1 hour shift in the classroom booths, cakes for the cake walk and wine for the auction. All help goes to benefit our wonderful kids! I hope we have another great fundraiser, and hope to see you all there!

Meet Miss Napa County 2011

West Park is delighted to have Napa's newest celebrity, Miss Napa County 2011, Ashley Mendez attend the WPE school carnival, Saturday, May 21st.  Come on out and meet her in person, and get an autograph!  Ms. Mendez is 23 years old, and a Sonoma State University senior.  In addition to winning the crown in 2011 she received $550 in scholarship money and will compete for the title of Miss California this summer.  Her talent is singing the song "These Boots are Made for Walking", and her platform is Big Brothers Big Sisters: Advocating for Youth Through Mentoring.  Ms. Mendez's scholastic/career ambition is to obtain a PhD in clinical psychology and have her own practice as a psychologist.  Here are some other interesting facts: She has obtained three AA degrees in psychology, natural science & mathematics, social & behavioral sciences, acquired a certificate in integrative studies of women and gender, CNA, CPR is Heimlich maneuver certified, and...she doesn't know how to whistle!
