Join the WFO: Westfield Family Organization
All parents and guardians are encouraged to enjoy the Westfield Family Organization. The WFO encourages parents to be involved with our students by volunteering at school activities. There is always an opportunity to help with the Annual Fund, Book Fair, decorate for open house, provide refreshments or decorations for special events or assist with welcoming new families to our school.
WFO volunteers show our students that part of life is giving time back to our school as adults. The WFO includes several committees that facilitate annual events and work on year long projects. Our students build lasting friendships with these individuals.
Please complete our online WFO volunteer form to be a part of this year's WFO!
