Students in grades 6-12 participated in The WACS Winter Olympics during their PE classes this week. Indoor events included Bobsled, Curling, Biathlon, and Skeleton. Then finished up the week with sledding. The students had a great time. ❄️🏅 🐾
Thank you to all of the families that brought in sleds and winter gear. It was greatly appreciated. 💙
CALENDAR UPDATE: Please note that there is a change of date from our district calendar for the WACS 4th Annual High School Volleyball Tournament. It will now be held on March 6th @ 3:30 pm. More information will be shared after February Break!
A great opportunity through the YWCA!
Our seniors brought their academic talents to the slopes today for one of our favorite annual traditions: Senior Sledding Day. Armed with creativity, questionable steering strategies, and impressive confidence, they demonstrated that physics is best learned through doing. It was a memorable afternoon of laughs, fresh air, exercise, and well-earned senior privilege.
Today, our 3rd graders had the exciting opportunity to watch and cheer on their Classroom Champions mentor, Sean Hollander, as he competed in the Men’s Double Luge at the Olympics! The first photo shows their enthusiasm as he competed this afternoon. The second photo is from the class' first time meeting Sean and asking him questions back in October.
Our students showed so much spirit as they proudly supported Sean and Team USA with true enthusiasm! It was a wonderful moment for Mrs. Lippert 's class to see firsthand what determination, teamwork, and commitment look like on the world stage.
Although Sean finished 8th overall, we could not be more proud of his hard work and perseverance.
Way to go, Sean!
Congratulations to Addison Lendt, Felicity Huyck, and Emma DeGolier on being recognized as Westfield-Mayville Rotary Club Scholars of the Month during the club’s semi-annual presentation. This prestigious honor highlights their hard work, leadership, and dedication. We are proud of your accomplishments!
WACS PRIDE Cards are now live at Westfield Middle and High School! Using these cards, we recognize students who demonstrate Preparedness, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, and Excellence. When a staff member observes a student exhibiting these behaviors at a high level, a PRIDE Card, containing a handwritten message from the staff member, is mailed home to parents/guardians to celebrate the student's accomplishment.
Every student has the potential to earn a PRIDE Card, and we look forward to recognizing many students throughout the year as they demonstrate these positive behaviors. We are proud of our students and will continue to share with families when their children are making a meaningful difference in our school community.

Your daughter/son will soon be making choices concerning their program of study for the next four years of high school at Westfield Academy and Central School. This decision-making process should be based on sound knowledge of:
1) Graduation requirements;
2) Courses available at Westfield Academy and Central School.
As a parent/guardian, we are asking you to participate in this process. Your student will most likely ask you for guidance in selecting the most appropriate courses for her/his education. We would like to help you and your daughter/son become more informed about these graduation requirements.
We invite both you and your student to attend, as this will be an informational meeting, and will assist you in providing guidance in your daughter/son’s education.

Many of our elementary classrooms took part in Global School Day of Play today. This is a day dedicated to celebrating the power of unstructured, child-led play. Through imagination, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving, students explored, built, created, and connected with one another in meaningful ways. Play is not only fun, but it also supports social, emotional, and cognitive growth. We loved seeing these smiles throughout our school today!
Earlier during the bowling season, Tahner Stow (LEFT) broke the boys' single-game record by bowling a 257. On February 3rd, he was honored at the County Roll-Offs for his game being the highest single-game score of the season in CCAA Division 2 bowling. He also has the highest overall average this season in CCAA Division 2 bowling, at 184. Congratulations Tahner!
Another opportunity to pick up some extra clothing, free of charge!

The Sculpture class was challenged with creating an installation using packing tape figures which they cast from their body parts. All figures needed to be combined to convey a message. The class brainstormed the concept for the installation and then wrote the artist statement as a group.
-----------------------------------
“Isolation vs. Creation”
This installation depicts the negative impact of phone addition which can lead to a lack of artistic endeavors in our culture. We want to illustrate the importance of creativity. We believe that the simple act of making art can bring much more joy than the dopamine brought on from scrolling. This installation shows the difference between those who are involved in making art and those who are passively watching their phone screens. There is also a figure trying to engage with a phone watcher and direct them to watch the figures involved in making art.
Art makes every culture unique and beautiful. Unfortunately, in our modern times many people have lost the ability to create and interact with art and other people. So we urge you to go out into the world to make art and to make friends.
-----------------------------------
Conceived and created by Sculpture students:
Gracie Bane, Molly Burgess, Addison Emery, Lance Franklin, Brooke Helman, Owen Hotchkiss, Meredith Lendt, Aubry Rodriguez, Derrick Schuster, Reece Schuster, Lilly Teeter, Ada Wiseman & Grace Wolfe
-----------------------------------
Students in Ms. Jody Wilmarth's class worked in groups of 2 and 3 to cast body parts using only packing tape. Parts were then assembled and additional elements added such as the easel, painting apron, and cardboard cell phone. The bodies were cast in poses determined by the agreed upon concept for the installation. The painting will be added to throughout the installation.
