Silent Auction Volunteers Needed: (Volunteers to start ASAP)

We moved this event to November! We have a chair for the Silent Auction, who needs 3 more volunteers to collect donations. The task is to call 25-30 businesses to ask for donations. This is NOT cold calling- they would get a list of local businesses who have donated in the past and just need to ask if they can donate again and then pick up the item from the business. The businesses are grouped by shopping center, so they would be near each other for pickup.

Sign up HERE!

Student Parking Raffle: September 16-20 (11:15 AM – 1:25 PM in the cafeteria)

Students:

Did you get your student parking pass? Is your spot at the back of the lot? How would you like to have one of the closest parking spots available for students?

The PTSA is selling raffle tickets for the 2 closest parking spaces at the same time as homecoming ticket sales (during all lunches this week).

Anyone with a student parking pass can buy a ticket for a chance to upgrade to one of these great spots (#75 & 76). Stop by during lunch to check it out on the map.

Wouldn't it be great to be able to park and walk right into school, especially when it's raining?

Buy your homecoming ticket and raffle ticket at the same time! It is just $5/ticket or $20/5 tickets.

*There will be one last chance to get your raffle ticket at the Parking Meeting Sept. 23 at 3:20PM. Winners will be drawn after this meeting.

Thanks for your support!

Bulldog Hacks: Saturday, September 28 at 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Our Computer Science Club is hosting Westfield High School’s very first coding competition, Bulldog Hacks, for students from grades 7 through 12.

We are hosting this free event in order to:

·       Encourage all middle and high school students, regardless of ethnic and financial backgrounds, to study computer science

·       Further students’ knowledge in technology and its application in healthcare, social good and financial industries

·       Connect like-minded students to collaborate, network and try

solving industry problems

This event is held as a coding competition where students have six hours to solve problems from three categories: Health Tech, FinTech, and Social Good. During this event, we will have guest speakers and workshops. It is a great place for students to engage with other students who share similar interests, broaden their knowledge in programming, and to meet leaders from the industry.

·                *See the attached flyer for registration information.
