It's a win-win situation when local businesses work with local schools. And that has been the case for Westchester Elementary School in Coral Springs, which has reaped benefits from its business relationships in a program called Partners in Education.

Annie's Pizza, a local pizza restaurant, is one of the businesses helping the school. Through the school year, students are encouraged to order from the pizza joint on what is known as Annie's Pizza Night. For every $10 order, $1 is given back to Westchester Elementary at the end of the school year. Plus, each month, the class that orders the most on Annie's Pizza nights wins a pizza party.

This year, the money from Annie's Pizza was used by the kindergarten team to purchase computer software that focuses on reading skills.

The school, at 12405 Royal Palm Blvd. in Coral Springs, is a winner of the Five Star School Award, and is FCAT "A" rated. Contact the school at 754-322-8900.
