Westview Wolverines ROCK!
Interfaith Community Center - Nov 5, 2011
On Saturday November 5th, we went to the Interfaith Community Center and served breakfast and lunch
to the homeless veterans that are living in temporary shelter there. We also deep cleaned the kitchen and dining
room, made 150 sack lunches and restocked the pantry.
View all the photos here.
Thanks so much for all of your support this year!
Sincerely,

San Diego Food Bank Drive - Sept 17, 2011
To all of the players/parents for the JV, Freshman and Varsity Teams:
A GREAT BIG thank you...we did it!
Thanks to all of your efforts, communication with neighbors, friends, fellow students, Facebook postings and more,
Westview High School filled 4 gigantic red containers with high quality canned and boxed goods that will go directly
to the San Diego Food Bank. This was our first annual canned food drive and in the end, I think we rocked it!
Sincerely,
Gail Bigelow
Beach Clean-Up - Aug 21, 2011
Dear Westview Players:
First of all, let me say WOW! You guys are amazing. After Hell Week, another difficult week of practices
and the Fan Fest, we still managed to have 27 players show up for the Beach Clean Up wearing football gear
and positive attitudes. I promised the boys I would send them totals of the trash we collected so please share
this message with your player. Also, a big thanks to Coach Woodward for showing up on the beach on his only day
off and supporting the players. Also, Stephanie MacGilfrey for taking photos and documenting the work. The boys
looked really great combing the beach in their jerseys and many people stopped, asked where they were from and what
they were doing. I got a personal compliment from an older lady about what "nice young men they were." So thanks
for representing Westview so well.
OUR TOTALS:
We collected 872 pieces of trash
Most collected: 191 cigarette butts
Most Surprising: All the Capri sun plastic straw covers that blow off and find there way onto the sand
Weirdest things: Shoes, hat, fishing items, buried towels
Things to Note: The Rangers said a big thank you. Due to budget cuts, they can't clean the beach itself very
often. We found Torrey Pines is a relatively clean beach - free from big pieces of trash - but there are
plenty of little pieces that we picked up so they wouldn't make there way into the ocean.
Improvements Needed: Mrs. Bigelow needs a ladder or the back of Eric Beagle's Truck so she can actually be
seen and heard above the sea of HUGE players!
Sincerely,
Gail Bigelow
