Amazing "POPS" Concert last night featuring our Concert Band, Concert Choir, Wind Ensemble, and Chamber Singers! Great job by all of our talented students. Thank you Mr. Pena, Mr. Fritz, and Mrs. Peterson!
The Westwood H.S. Science League recently completed an Engineering challenge. Their task was to create a ring using only Pringle crisps. No tape, glue, string, or other supportive devices were allowed! They learned that this is indeed possible due to good old fashioned Physics.
Mrs. Seigle and all first graders celebrate the 101st day of school due to their love of Disney and 101 Dalmatians! As you can see, children even dressed in black and white.
Students participated in a "Say Something" workshop today offered through Care Plus that educates students about observable warning signs that are often present in behavior that could lead to someone hurting themselves or others & how to report these concerns to trusted adults.
Happy 100th day of school!

Welcome back ESL parents! Thank you Ms. Astudillo, Mrs. Fox, Ms. Massaro and Mrs. Petersen for your help and guidance.
This is part of why school counselors are such a vital part of the elementary school community! At a recent lunch group, students talked about positive attitudes, brainstormed “Three words to live by” and created posters that best suited them! Thank you Mrs. Petrosino!
AP Environmental Science students are learning about the process of mining and its environmental impact. Today's lab involved extracting the chocolate chips from a cookie, selling the "ore", and the reclamation of the land afterwards.
