Be A Better You Be A Better You

For the 2025-2026 school year, West Elementary will be working on targeted practice on some “life” skills in addition to academics. Every week, we will practice a skill that will help us all be a little better. This week’s skill is OFFERING HELP.


Most people are pretty good at OFFERING HELP but a reminder never hurts. This week we will be practicing.

West Elementary Families!

As we wrap up our fundraiser, we have some exciting news to share with you! Thanks to your incredible support and generosity, we have raised $22,690.71!!!


We had a school-wide goal to raise $30,000 to go toward a second gaga pit, additional gym equipment for field day, school fun events, but as a school, we would also be able to have a school wide flash mob. To see if we can still make it happen, our fundraising platform, MyBooster.com, will remain open for one more week!


Could you reach out to one or two more people to see if they could help us reach our goal?


Once again, thank you for your unwavering support, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word. Your involvement has made a tremendous difference and showcases the strength of our school community!


- West Seneca West Elementary PTA


P.S. We extend a BIG thank you to our volunteers who played a crucial role in making this fundraiser a resounding success. Your dedication to our school community is deeply appreciated! THANK YOU Mrs. Bell, Mr. Gregoire, Mr. Perna, Mrs. Guida, Mrs. Helper, Mrs. Safford and Miss Kempf for all of your help on Friday during the event!!

Fun Run Fun! Fun Run Fun!
