Ways and Means Committee

Chairperson: Bhavani Koneru

The Ways and Means Committee wishes to extend greetings to all of the 2016-2017 Westfield families and friends.

The PTSA participates in a number of "silent" fundraisers - meaning you don't have to sell anything to participate.  Please read about them here on our website and enroll in the programs you use. Remember to re-Link your program cards where needed.

At any point, the PTSA will gladly accept donations! We are an IRS recognized 501(c)3 organization and can provide a tax donation receipt. To make a donation, please send it to WHS PTSA, 4700 Stonecroft Blvd., Chantilly, VA 20151. Please make checks payable to "WHS PTSA". Questions? Please contact Tricia Monroe, President, at 

Harris Teeter Together In Education Program

It's time to get all of the parents and community members to RE-LINK their VIC cards. Our school code to link is 8134. This program is easy and part of normal daily living without additional investments. When customers purchase select Harris Teeter Brand products using their VIC card, Harris Teeter contributes a percentage of those purchase dollars to the schools of their choice. So ALL parents and teachers if you don't already have your VIC card please register online or in the store (Herndon, Chantilly, Aldie, Reston, Leesburg or Gainesville are closest locations).  Once you have your VIC card, you can designate Westfield by calling 1-800-432-6111, give the cashier your our VIC Card and the school's TIE number, online or by sending me an email waysmeans@westfieldhs.org with names and VIC card number and I will do a mass update. This one time sign up process must take place each school year. The school of your choice must be re-linked to your VIC card each year, beginning August 1.

There are several ways to link your VIC card:

• At the register in stores
• At the Customer Service desk in stores
• On web site - www.harristeeter.com
• Phone - Call 1-800-432-6111

Ways and Means coordinator can also link parent's cards using the Mass Link feature so if you don't have time to re-link yourself make sure to bring your VIC card to the Bulldog BBQ or send email and provide Last Name, VIC card Number first 11 digits only example 40000000001 and/or Phone Number example 571-555-5555 (must match name provided).

• Last Name (Must match name on file VIC Card Number)

• Please note that you may now provide a VIC card number and/or a phone number when mass linking a card. If you do not have your login information please call 1-800-432-6111.
