Red Ribbon Week

Did you know that the best way to keep kids off drugs is to talk to them about the dangers of drug use?  The best way to prevent bullying is to talk to them about what it is and how to prevent it, the best way to help them make good choices is to model good choice making.

Parents, Grandparents, Caregivers, Friends and Family.  Together we can make a BIG difference in the lives of our WEST HAVEN HAWKS!

Book Fair - Volunteers Needed

The fall book fair is coming up and we need lots of volunteers to make it happen!

The Greatest Show

Join us for West Haven Elementary

& West Haven PTA’s 4th Annual Arts Night

Friday, March 11, 2016

5:00-7:30 PM

Join us for an art stroll through the school and live entertainment provided by the students. Performers include: Each grade K-6, West Haven Harmony Hawks, orchestra, band and drama club.

The performance times are as follows:

5:00 Kindergarten

5:10 4th grade

5:20 1st grade

5:30 3rd grade

5:40 2nd grade

5:50 5th grade

6:00 Band

We ask that your student meet in the Kindergarten hallway 5 minutes before their grade’s scheduled time to perform. Once their performance is over, they will exit off the front of the stage to meet you in the audience.

This is a school fundraiser and all money earned will go directly to the school to purchase emergency items. This year we are earning money for security cameras! Each student will have an art piece that they have created available for purchase by family members only! Suggested donation is $5.

In addition to the art, we will also hold a silent auction with donations provided from some very generous local companies.

Concessions will be available for purchase. The money earned from the concessions will support the PTA.

It will be a fun family night for all. See you there!
