Principal's Message 

During this holiday season, we want to show our appreciation for our custodial team and the cafeteria staff. These men and women support us daily in countless ways. We will be collecting cash donations through Tuesday, December 17. These donations will be divided among the team members to provide a tangible expression of our gratitude. If you would like to contribute to this donation, please send cash in an envelope marked Special Donation. Thank you for joining us in this special holiday tradition. 

The West Way is the Best Way!

PTO is hosting the annual teacher and staff holiday breakfast on Tuesday, December 10 at 8:00 am. We will be providing delicious food from Rolls as well as door prizes for the staff. If you would like to contribute to the event, please sign up here. Any extra funds collected will be used to stock the workroom with treats for teachers in 2025. Also if you signed up on MTK to sit with your child’s class so the teacher can attend the breakfast, don’t forget to come to the classroom by 8:00 that day.

OPPORTUNITY FOR 5th GRADE STUDENTS

Vestavia Hills High School is producing the musical Cinderella this spring, April 24 - 27. 
We have a couple of fun events planned for the production. 

We want to have auditions for our 5th grade students to be in the opening number of The Prologue as townspeople and the song In My Own Little Corner as woodland creatures. We would work in a bow for them at the end of the song and they would be able to go home or watch from the audience. Whichever works best for the child. 
We would hold an audition on Dec 5 at 4:30 in the choir room. Please fill out this audition form:  https://forms.gle/FL6tZ5XpVkVy3xXf8They only need to fill out their name, contact and any previous experience that they have had.
