Fall is near, and our 540 students are off to a great school year. Be sure to read this issue of "Hornets in Action" to see what our students are involved in and what they are accomplishing. We believe that our faculty has created an educational environment where students enjoy learning, develop creativity, and build leadership skills. Outside the classroom, Westfield students excel in athletics, literary, and other activities, representing our school in various competitions. Sports are well underway for the year with our first home football game tomorrow night in the Hornets' Nest. Our drama department is gearing up for this year's one act play, and our literary coaches are selecting students for music competition. It's great to be a Westfield Hornet!

Foreign Language Clubs Prepare
for "Tour de Westfield"
|
|
On September 13th, Westfield's Foreign Language Club will host its fourth "Tour de Westfield," an on-campus bike race modeled after the annual Tour de France that is held in France every summer. In the Middle School, only students in 8th grade are allowed to participate. In the Upper School, students in grades 9 through 12 may participate. Participants must bring their own bike and helmet to race. Although not all students will choose to participate, all will attend the race and cheer on their classmates as they cross the finish line. For more information, please contact Mrs. Anna Caulley at [email protected].
