Change Challenge 2026

Start saving your change now!

From October 26–30, our five Houses will compete to earn the most points.

Add points to your House with pennies and paper bills,

or use nickels, dimes and quarters to subtract points from rival Houses (online donations will also be accepted).

 

Watch the leaderboard

throughout the week to see which House comes out on top! 

Funds raised will help purchase our new Book Vending Machine!


Students can start FUNdraising online, NOW!  Go to the PTO website and make an account. 

Make sure to update your Family Information with your student’s current teacher and school House! 

 

Start your FUNdraising campaign for the Change Challenge by inviting family and friends to donate and help us towards our goal of a Book Vending Machine!

 

On October 30, all Westies will celebrate with the Westie Waggle during the school day! Students can dress as their favorite book character and join us for an outdoor dance party.
