DESTINATION IMAGINATION
Westmont Elementary has two Destination Imagination teams that have qualified to advance and participate in the Destination Imagination Global Finals at the University of Tennessee. While Global Finals is an amazing opportunity for these kids, it is also a very expensive one and this is where you come in. Please consider supporting these hard-working kids and help them move on to this next level so they can showcase their talents and creations in a venue amongst other top teams from around the world. We are hoping to raise $9500 through various fundraisers to cover the cost of this for these students. Any contribution you can make will be greatly appreciated by these kids and their families! Here is the link to the YouCaring page.

Krispy Kreme/Destination Imagination
Westmont's Destination Imagination teams are selling Krispy Kreme certificates good for either a dozen glazed donuts or specialty donuts. Each certificate costs $8.50 (for glazed) and $10.50 (for specialty). You can redeem these at any Krispy Kreme store, and they do not expire. If you would like to order any of these certificates, just send a check with a note attached for what kinds and how many of each kind you would like to order to Westmont Elementary (check payable to Westmont Elementary) no later than May 5th.

MASTER GARDENERS
Starting April 6th from 9:00 - 11:30 am on Thursday mornings the Master Gardeners of the Sarpy County Fair Garden will be available to answer your gardening questions. Of course, this all depends on the glorious Nebraska weather. Gotta love that rain! So, if you have spots, rots, or can't figure what to put in those pots come on down. We can even show you how to pull a weed or two or ten.

NURSING ASSISTANT’S COURSE
Nebraska Methodist College, in partnership with Louisville Care Center, is offering a seven-week Nursing Assistant Hybrid Course in Louisville. Nursing assistants, commonly referred to as CNAs, work closely with patients on a daily basis to provide essential care, such as checking vital signs, making beds and helping doctors and nurses with basic medical procedures.
Students will complete coursework online from May 11-June 30 and attend clinical classes once a week on Thursdays from 5:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. at Louisville Care Center. The cost is $499 and includes a textbook, skills packet and testing. Following the completion of the course, students may take the competency exams to qualify for State of Nebraska Nurse Aide Registry placement.
