Westfield Academy and Central School

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
