Yes, yes, yes we do! We've got spirit, how about you? 👏 🐾🍎 Westfield Elementary was full of spirit for Homecoming week! 🎉

Westfield celebrated our amazing Buildings & Grounds Team on Wednesday. From maintaining our facilities to ensuring our grounds are welcoming and safe, their commitment helps make each day as smooth as possible. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile make a significant difference in our daily operations and the overall atmosphere of the district. Thank you for everything you do!

🎶Sing in exhalation, loudly and clear🎶 David Hoebener, a talented 12th grader, has spent this school year rearranging the WACS Wolverine Fight Song, "Our Director" by F.E. Bigelow. His version not only better suits our band but also adds a unique touch with his own creative flair. We are excited to hear more from David! 🐾 Click to hear his arrangement: https://youtu.be/SsnKtzyRR50?si=wP2L_DhKTZjpgANX

Students in Mrs. Wilson's Public Speaking classes read children's books to our kindergarten and first grade classes this week. Both the littles and the bigs enjoyed this! The students chose their own books and were kindly graded by the elementary teachers. We thank them for allowing us into their classrooms!

We want to extend our appreciation to Lakeshore Assembly of God for their generous donation of snacks and drinks to the Westfield Academy and Central School's transportation department! 🚍 We are grateful for their support and commitment to our school community!

Check out the amazing creations our students made this week during their PAWS class! These unique designs were inspired by a new book "What Can a Mess Make?" by Bee Johnson. 📖 "What Can a Mess Make?" is a children's picture book that encourages creativity and imagination. As children experiment with different materials, they learn that chaos and disorder can transform into something beautiful and meaningful, promoting creativity, resourcefulness, and open-mindedness. 📚 🐾 Our students were beaming with pride over their creations!

Our first "Dance Party Friday" of the school year! 🎵 🎶 A great way to start the day together! 🐾

Congratulations to Carson Swanson for being named Dan Palmer's WDOE Student-Athlete of the week for soccer! Keep it up Carson!

This year, the Westfield School Community will be crafting a new strategic plan! Before we can determine our future direction, it's important to understand where we stand today. We invite all members of our community—students, parents, caregivers, teachers, faculty, and alumni—to share their thoughts on this key question: What would WACS students benefit the most from, for current and future success? Please take a few moments to provide your input anonymously by visiting the link below. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tpAnhinUrNoLRSPg7ElzOL6v2aJWhoZH/view?usp=sharing
