Greetings!
Thank you to all of the brave men and women, especially our Westfield faculty, staff, parents, and grandparents, who have served our country to protect our freedom. We are grateful for your service.
Welcome to Westfield, Middy!

We are so happy to introduce our newest Hornet…Middy! Middy is a trained and certified therapy dog owned by faculty member Mrs. April Holmes. Middy will be on campus everyday with Mrs. Holmes to provide comfort and support to students by helping them to gain confidence, improve motivation, and decrease learning anxieties. We are excited to have Middy at Westfield!
Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Be sure to view our "25 Days of Gratitude Challenge" each day on our school Facebook and Instagram. Our Pre-K students are preparing for a big feast, and our first graders are practicing for their performance of "The First Thanksgiving." Have you seen Tom Turkey? He is showing up in all kinds of disguises in our kindergarten classes! #westfieldtraditions #thanksgiving
50th Anniversary Campaign Year Three Kickoff

Year Three of the 50th Anniversary Campaign is well underway. Thank you to everyone who has already made a contribution. Currently, we are at 50 percent school-wide participation. This is a great start, but we still need your support to reach our 75 percent participation goal by November 19th! 
  • If we reach 75 percent school-wide participation by the 19th, everyone will receive a day off of school on April 18th and all students will be allowed to wear Spirit Wear everyday during the month of December. 
  • Each grade that reaches 75 percent participation will receive a donut party from Yodee's Mobile Fresh Food Truck.
If you have not yet contributed, we hope you will prayerfully consider a gift. Donations of every size make an impact and will help us reach our participation goal. *Please note that your contributions from all three years will be totaled for your overall gift to the campaign. Funds raised through the 50th Anniversary Campaign will benefit the renovation of the Gymnatorium to include a foyer (which will also serve as a practice space for sports), Spirit Shop, concessions, restrooms, and sound system with acoustical panels. Donations can be made via cash, check, bill account, or online at the button below.
Sixth graders in Ms. Dana Griffin’s world cultures classes have stepped back in time in writing their names in Hieroglyphics in a cartouche as part of their study on Ancient Egypt. #handsonlearning #educationofmindandheart
Spanish IV students in Mrs. Tina Bowker's class used their creative and linguistic skills for an assignment by writing their own script for a restaurant skit. Watch and listen to "La Salada Dominicana", a funny skit about the President and his family visiting a local restaurant. Please note that the "pina coladas" are non-alcoholic! #westfieldforeignlanguage #handsonlearning

Kudos to these seniors who signed up to participate in “No—Shave November”, a month-Iong journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness. Each senior will be raising money for the Macy Easom Cancer Research Foundation. #servingourcommunity
Sixth graders in Mrs. Karen Ray’s art class are working on a very special project for the Atlanta Oncology at Hawkinsville Cancer Center. They are painting ceiling tiles that will be installed in the ceiling for patients to see above them during radiation cancer treatments. We love seeing our students serve others in such a wonderful way! #servingourcommunity
Congratulations to senior Christina Kinnebrew on being selected as the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Good Citizen from Westfield!
