Quarter 1 Academic Honor Rolls ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congratulations to the students on the MERIT, HONOR, and HIGH HONOR academic rolls for their hard work, effort and dedication to first ten weeks of school. We applaud each and every one of you!

Students in Ms. Andalora's Introduction to Business and Office Procedures and Technology classes took a field trip to Jamestown Business College to compete against area schools earlier this week. The students participated in "College Games", which is based after the movie, The Hunger Games. Our Westfield students were given a profile and a list of business activities that need to be completed. The activities were timed, and they had to give a brief presentation on what they completed. Six schools in the county are participating in "College Games" at different times due to Covid restrictions. Westfield will be notified of their score and rank at a later date, once all schools have competed. Jamestown Business College will announce the school with the highest score and those students will receive prizes!

Congratulations to Darien Swanson on being named Dan Palmer's WDOE HS Athlete of the day for his performance in the Olean Tournament!

SOCKS for SENIORS Key Club is collecting socks for local seniors again this year!

Last week we had some special guests at our Board of Education Meeting. Meet Larry, a miniature goldendoodle, that has grown to be a part of our family here at WACS as he assists with programs focussing on student social emotional wellness. Our school social worker, Miss Deann Shelters, has put extra time and care into getting her dog Larry his K9 Good Citizen certification. Our students really enjoy this new companion and are learning a variety of positive social skills while gaining trust, building confidence and learning to feel empowered. Sydney, one of our students that has a knack for working with Larry, was also a part of the presentation and is pictured here. Larry is currently working on expanding his trainings and certifications to take the Therapy Dog examination later this year.

Get in the HOLIDAY SPIRIT at WACS All PK-12 students and staff are encouraged to participate in the fun!
