Our goal is for each child to raise $150!

Box Tops For Education collection program

WCA PTA donates funds collected from participation in the Box Tops program directly back to the school. We earn 10 cents for every box top submitted. At the end of each year the class that collects the most Box Tops wins a party (ice cream, Popsicle, or the like). Start by downloading the new Box Top app from the Apple Store or Google Play, purchase Box Top products and scan your receipt (paper or digital) within 14 days of purchase.  All earnings are then updated automatically online! You can find information about the program and a list of products here.

AmazonSmile

You shop. Amazon gives. Amazon will make a donation to WCA when you sign up with smile.amazon.com and select West Creek Academy PTA as your charity. Every time you shop either through the app or on smile.amazon.com, Amazon will make a donation to the PTA. It’s that easy!

Fundraiser Events

WCA PTA’s main fundraiser events have usually been the Fun Run and the Fall Festival. Keep your eye on the What’s Happening page to learn more about these awesome events.

Book Fairs at West Creek

PTA sponsors one to two book fairs per year. Students and their families are encouraged to attend the book fair and select fun and interesting books to enrich the students’ curriculum. Teachers are given an opportunity to choose books for their classroom wish lists. Many families choose to donate books to the classrooms in their child’s name.

Spirit Wear at West Creek

West Creek has spirit! Our PTA Spirit Wear Coordinator puts together Spirit Wear collections for the whole family with ordering done twice a year. All students and staff (and parents!) can show their school spirit each Friday (our current School “Spirit Day”) by donning their Spirit Wear or wearing burgundy (our main school color). Go Wolves!

Although fundraising is not the main focus and goal of the PTA, funding once provided by the state and school district has been cut drastically over the last several years. Parents and supporters of West Creek Academy PTA have stepped up to make sure our children receive the best school experience possible. PTA generally holds two fundraisers per year. In years past, we have held direct donation campaigns, a car raffle, a jog-a-thon, spell-a-thons, and an auction event. We thank all of our supporters who have contributed and look forward to continuing to provide our children with everything they need and deserve!
