Westfield class of 2022 Senior, Darien Swanson, stopped in to talk to our Extended School Year students this week. He shared a little bit of his golf experiences and knowledge with students and completed a putting green project with them. There was even a little time to shoot hoops in the gym.
Our students thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with him.
