  Greetings!
As we approach the season of Thanksgiving, we are grateful for our students and their families, our faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. Your support of Westfield is much appreciated, and we are deeply thankful for the privilege to teach young people and help prepare them for the future. As our first grade pilgrims and Indians will sing in tomorrow's performance of The First Thanksgiving, let us give thanks with a grateful heart.

May you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving. We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus on Monday, November 27th.
