Anytime you purchase food from Chick fil A McKnight Road, 20% of your purchase could be coming back for the West View Elementary PTA to use to help defray costs for our 5th Grade. 

Save your receipt, write the name of your child’s teacher on the receipt and send it to school.  We can collect old receipts too, so check those glove boxes and wallets and ask family members too!  Online/in app purchases count too, just forward the email to chickfila@westviewpta.org and let us know your child’s homeroom.  An easy way to find online orders in your inbox is to search your inbox for: “one@email.chick-fil-a.com”

Thank you for supporting our 5th grade class!

There are plenty of ways to get involved with our PTA. Many opportunities will require clearances on file with the district, but there are a handful that do not- like family events. Check out current opportunities by visiting this link.
