Original Works

Original Works transforms each child’s artwork onto individual, quality products that can be shared with family and friends. Your children will be working with our art teacher, Miss H, and their Advocacy teacher in September to create their own artwork, which can then be turned into one-of-a-kind keepsakes and fantastic gifts for grandparents and relatives. The students will finish creating their masterpieces prior to Fall Break and order forms will be available in October, with orders being delivered in time for the holidays.

Fundraising Spotlight

King Soopers logoKING SOOPERS: Our best AND easiest fundraiser! 

After choosing Westgate as your charity of choice on your King Soopers card, all you have to do is shop!  It's really that easy.  Your family and friends in any state with stores that are part of the Kroger Family of Companies can do it too.   

Here's how it works: 

  1. Go to http://www.kingsoopers.comor click here if your Kroger Family of Companies is not a King Soopers. 
  2. Sign in to your account. (If you do not have an account, you will need to set this up first.) 
    3. Be sure to have your King Soopers Loyalty card available with you. (If you don't have a loyalty card, stop by any customer service desk to get one.) 
    4. At the top choose "savings & rewards" - go to "King Soopers Community and Rewards Program" 
    5. Choose "enroll now" 
    6. In search box - put in either Westgate Community School either by name or CN908 
    7. Your loyalty card will now be linked with Westgate's account number. (If you and your spouse/partner use the same loyalty card number you only need to sign up once. All cards will be linked.) 

We receive several thousand dollars per year from this program. Thanks for choosing Westgate!
