Cafeteria Survey

dents in grades 6 - 12 will have a slightly different survey that will be available on a designated website to be announced next week. Lower School students are not being surveyed at this time.
 
Your feedback is a driving force behind our decision making. Please take a moment to answer questions about the cafeteria and what you would like to see! The survey closes at midnight on Friday, November 10 th .

#Viral: One-Act Play Community Performance
This Weekend...November 3 and 4
Don't miss this year's performance of Westfield's competition one-act show #Viral by Maria McConville on Friday and Saturday, November 3rd and 4th in the Recital Hall. Show times are 7:30 p.m. with the house opening at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and non-Westfield students.

The play addresses the serious and timely issue of school bullying, both physical and internet driven. A group of young women play a prank on a fellow student, but the prank goes horribly wrong. The motivations and consequences of such an act are brought clearly to light. Although the play contains no physical violence or strong language, it is not recommended for small childre. #westfieldoneact #westfieldfinearts
Middle and Upper School students joined for assembly this week to hear Reverend Glenn Jakes, youth pastor at Perry Presbyterian Church. Pastor Glenn shared some Halloween and trick-or-treat trivia with the students before speaking with them about the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. He reminded them of the significance of Martin Luther's efforts that changed history, made God's Word available to all believers, and helped the world to understand that salvation is only by God's grace through faith alone in Christ alone. #educationofmindandheart
