Saturday, March 20th we will be hosting a Winter Guard tournament at Westview.

70 high school Winter Guard groups will be participating. Since it is such a large tournament we have a wonderful opporunity to earn money that will go to all programs within Westview Gold. We will need a lot of volunteer help. We will have multiple volunteer shifts throughout the day and evening. More information about volunteer opportunities will come out in the next few weeks.

You can also support Westview Gold by selling advertising space in the tournament program. Please think about any possible contacts you may have. More information about program advertisements will be coming out soon.

Wind Ensemble- San Diego Enforcers football game 4:30 to 8:00- Escondido High School

REMINDER –

Scrip orders are due Monday, February 22

Now is the time to start thinking about holiday gift cards.

Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift certificates and prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for our organization.

Appointments with Miss Webb or Mrs. Kitelinger
If you have a question on concern and would like to speak to either Miss Webb or Mrs. Kitelinger, please send an email to make an appointment first. They will be happy to meet with you by appointment. Both teachers try very hard to spend time working with students. In addition they have many programs to manage and need to spend time collaborating and planning with the coaches. It is much easier for them to spend the time they would like to spend speaking with you if you have made an appointment.
