We've had a great FIRE PREVENTION WEEK! Thank you to Mrs. Shannon Bills and our elementary staff for organizing fun and educational activities for students around the importance of fire safety. A big Wolverine shout out to the Westfield Fire Department for their participation in our activities this week, including the surprise drive-by this morning!

Remember that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 12th in observance of Columbus Day. This means that next week is a four day week and therefore Wednesday is not a remote day. Refer to calendars that were sent home by your child's principal or call the main office with any questions.

Miss Hunt's students have been talking about meal time manners for school, home, and even going out to a restaurant. They have been setting their own desks up for lunch and practicing these important skills. Look how proud this student is of his place setting.

October 15th Soccer Photo Schedule

Mrs. Helen Ihasz and her group one high school band members put on a special concert for the residents at Absolut Care earlier this week. What a treat! Current CDC guidelines require a 12ft distance for wind instruments or aerobic activity. As you might imagine, this makes choir, band and phys ed very difficult. Hats off to our teachers that are creatively making things work during this challenging time in music, phys ed and all content areas. You make us very proud!

Please help us spread the word: The annual Westfield Band Chicken BBQ that is on the school calendar for Saturday, October 10th will not be taking place at this time due to the current restrictions. Thank you for your continued support of our music programs, we hope to see you for a Chicken BBQ in the future.
