Thank you for participating in Pjammin

Thank you so much for participating in Westwood's Pjammin week and donating money to help children with cancer.  Kids cannot fight cancer alone!  Today our school raised $459.21 for the American Childhood Cancer Association.  It was really awesome to see so many people in their pj's today to help with this wonderful cause.
Please view the "Show Me" video below.
Both the blog piece and the show me were created by our blogger committee.  Great Job!
