Erase the Waste Aluminum Can Drive

As you know, Westwood has been busy collecting aluminum cans for the past couple of weeks.  This collection is in response to the "Erase the Waste" can drive sponsored by the Behr Iron and Metal Company.  This company is located in Woodstock on Washington Street.  Yesterday you received a "Connect Ed." call from Mr. Ross stating we were so close to winning that we all needed to pool our resources and get as many cans as possible to the Behr Corporation before 4:00pm.

Well guess what?  We received a call today from Behr notifying us that we were 10 pounds short of taking first place.  However, they were impressed yesterday with the community outreach and the number of students and families that came in to drop off aluminum cans.  The person that called said they actually had fun watching all the Westwood families drive in to support the event and to drop off cans.  They were so impressed in fact, they decided to award a second $1,000 prize to our school!  First place went to an elementary school in Harvard, and Westwood will also be receiving a check for $1,000!!!!

I think this is a wonderful generous thing that Behr has done!  :)  It truly goes to show that when we pull together as a team, people notice!  :)  Thank you to everyone that brought in cans, and drove to Behr yesterday to help to make a difference!  The check will be awarded to our school on Friday afternoon at the post Wide World of Wonder assembly.

Amazing!!!  Thank you parents, families and Behr!  :)
