With the changing of seasons (a lot this time of year!), our Lost & Found is overflowing! Please encourage your student(s) to look through the items and bring their things home. Also, if you are attending a concert or sporting event at ZWest in the next few weeks, please take a look at the racks and re-claim anything that belongs to you or your household. Lost & Found is located at the back wall of the cafeteria/West Hall. Any items that remain after school on Wednesday, November 26th will be donated to a local shelter.
