Over the past few weeks, our students have joined together to reach out to our community through the donation of gifts to KidsGive, a canned food drive led by our Middle School Student Council, decoration of doors for residents at Summerhill Senior Living, visits to Summerhill and the City of Perry Police/Fire departments, caroling on Carroll Street in downtown Perry, and our Key Club's collection of more than 500 cans of cranberry sauce for Perry Volunteer Outreach. Next week, our varsity boys' basketball team will volunteer for the Fuller Center for Housing.
As we close this first semester, we are grateful for the many blessings we have on our campus every day. May the Lord continue to bless our school, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and all Westfield families. We look forward to seeing everyone again when classes resume on January 3rd! Merry Christmas to all!
For unto us a child is born, to us a child is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
