Volunteer Programs . . .
Westwood benefits from the efforts of our volunteers. Volunteers help out in classrooms on lunch order mornings, assist with teachers on various projects, help out with bookfairs, assist with field trips, etc.
Listed below are some of our formal volunteer program affiliations.
PEI Volunteers For Literacy
We love having our Volunteers for Literacy (formerly Project LOVE) visit us at Westwood! They work in partnership with our teachers to provide individual attention to children in literacy.
Westwood has many literacy volunteers and we love each and every one of them!!

Breakfast For Learning
The Breakfast Program at Westwood Primary runs every morning beginning at 8:10. Volunteering for the program will take about forty-five minutes to an hour of your time in the morning (8:00 - 9:00 a.m. or so). We appreciate the volunteer efforts of parents, grandparents, and community members in keeping this wonderful program going. Our Breakfast Program Coordinator is Carolyn Doyle.
Kindergarten students who wish to participate in the program are able to get a breakfast snack in their classrooms at 8:20. Juice, dry cereal, and apple slices are available. Grades 1-3 students who wish to participate in the program are welcome to come to the breakfast program room between 8:10 and 8:25 where they can sit and eat toast (with margarine or jam) juice or milk and apple slices. Children who arrive at school between 8:25 and 8:30 are welcome to come to the breakfast room and take their snack back to the class.
Since the success of the breakfast program is, in large part, dependent on donations, we always welcome donations of cereal (Cheerios or Shreddies), jam, apple/ orange juice from our school families!
Please contact the school if you have some time to give to the Breakfast Program. Donations may be dropped off at the office! Thanks!!
