  Greetings!
Welcome back from Fall Break! We hope you and your family enjoyed a restful few days and had fun spending time together...maybe even at the Georgia National Fair! It's an exciting weekend for the Hornets! Tomorrow night, we will recognize 21 seniors and their parents at approximately 6:50 p.m. on Ronnie Jones Field just before kickoff of the varsity football game vs Tiftarea. These seniors have represented Westfield with great competitiveness and sportsmanship in football, softball, cheerleading, and cross country. Also tomorrow night, we will have a pep rally in the Quad to kickoff the 2017-18 Annual Fund! On Saturday, our Lady Hornets will begin their quest to a STATE championship as they host the Bulloch Academy Lady Gators at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Come out and support our Hornets Friday night in our last home football game of the season and our Lady Hornets on Saturday afternoon! #itsgreattobeawestfieldhornet
