Hey wolves, this year's Spring Fair theme is "Starkweather Gives Back". We asked each grade to pick a charity of their choice to support. We will have craft stations set up to raise money for those individual charities. Come out and join us with your family and friends to help raise as much money as we can for these organizations. PLUS!The class that raises the most money for their charity will get a prize

You'll get to enjoy inflatables, face painting, food trucks, raffle baskets, crafts and more! It's going to be a BLAST! 

Charities & Organizations we will be supporting:

  • (Kindergarten): Fame Fire Company (West Chester)
  • (1st Grade): Prepared to Thrive
  • (2nd Grade): Wolf Sanctuary of PA
  • (3rd Grade): West Chester Food Cupboard
  • (4th Grade): Call's Critter Rescue
  • (5th Grade): Friends Association

  2. SWSMembershipSite  to pay online.  *This is also how families can add themselves to our school directory to receive emails, class lists and parent contacts (more information on this in a section below).

PTO dues in combination with the fundraisers we have allow us to provide for our school. Last year, thanks to great fundraising, we were able to purchase yearbooks for all students.
