Try "A Taste of Southwest Charlotte" on August 18
A Food Festival for the Entire Community

(June 15, 2007) The Southwest Middle School PTSA is hosting “A TASTE OF SOUTHWEST CHARLOTTE” on August 18, 2007. This is an excellent opportunity for all our neighbors to partner with our school to enforce their commitment to education.

The event is scheduled a week before school starts (peak shopping time) and will consist of area food vendors, arts and craft vendors, a farmer’s market, live cooking demonstrations, raffles, a silent auction, and a kiddie area, all with free admission and free parking.

Southwest Middle School is located in the Steele Creek area near the intersection of Steele Creek Road (Hwy 160) and York Road (Hwy 49) and is near to the Fort Mill, Tega Cay, and Lake Wylie communities.

Our school is close to 4 years old with a design capacity to accommodate 1,050 students. Presently we have approximately 1,200 students enrolled. As you are aware our area is experiencing tremendous residential, commercial, and industrial growth.

We are constantly soliciting the community, as partners to help supplement much needed educational resources because the school system’s funding is so stretched. The PTSA is committed to providing students the resources necessary to excel. We would like to purchase books, materials and equipment to supplement the school system’s programs.

This school year our students represented Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools at the National Math competition.
