One of the amazing crafters at the 2013 Westwood Craft Fair.

We're full! All our tables have sold out for the 2014 Winter Wonderland Craft Fair, which is good news for shoppers but sad for crafters who came too late. You can add your name to our waiting list by sending us a message via the Contact Us page - please send us your email address, telephone number and a brief description of the crafts you make/sell. Cancellations are rare but they do happen so send us your name just in case.

And for the rest of you, save the date! This year's Craft Fair is on Saturday, November 29th from 10am to 3pm. Do all your holiday shopping and enjoy the day with a gym full of crafters, a bake sale, a mile-long raffle table, a café for a snack and a great used book sale.

Get your magazine orders in!

3/11/2014

This year's magazine fundraising campaign is finished so please send in your orders or buy your subscriptions online this week. The money we raise with subscriptions goes right back to Westwood Junior and Senior in the form of guest speakers, author visits, program funding (like the school play at Senior and the weight room at Junior), library support and so much more.

You can order throughout the year and Westwood will benefit (as long as you order or renew through the QSP website and not directly with the magazine). However your orders will only count toward student prizes during our fall campaign.

Order now and help us reach our goal - we're trying to match last year's sales of $14,000 gross sales for $4200 profit (30% of subscriptions). Go to www.qsp.ca, Shop Now, enter Westwood's code 3741311 and your child's name if a Westwood student and shop. Then we'll tell you at the end of the year all the things you helped to fund at Westwood!

Thank you for your support!!
