Hello Westfield families!
Our winter break has officially begun! We hope everyone enjoys a safe and healthy few days off, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on campus on Tuesday, February 18th. Don't forget that our varsity girls' basketball team will play tomorrow night at 7 pm vs Pinewood at Trinity-Dublin. Good luck to our Lady Hornets! Now is the time to re-enroll your child for the upcoming the 2020-2021 academic year. As you may have noticed, we are at or near capacity in many of our grades. Thus, to guarantee your place, and to avoid a late fee, we are asking that you register for next year before the deadline of next Friday, February 21, 2020.  Be sure to read this week's Westfield Weekly to stay up to date!
Don't miss Westfield's most anticipated event of the school year -- our Green, Gold, & Sold! 50th Anniversary Gala & Auction on March 21st! Attendees will enjoy dinner, live music, silent auction, live auction, and tuition credit raffle. Proceeds from this event will benefit the renovation and expansion of the Gymnatorium . Many thanks to our newest sponsor -- Green Sponsor, Loden Dental Associates.

What does our learning environment look like? We believe it is one that helps students develop a passion for learning and creates independent, critical thinkers prepared for the demands of college and university. And, we believe that a dedicated faculty who inspire, challenge and teach is the key to a student’s lifelong learning. #educationofmindandheart

Westfield alumnus and past parent Mayo Sexton '75 shared memories of his time at Westfield and the teachers and coaches who helped shape his life with our Middle and Upper School students this morning. Mayo was a member of Westfield's very first varsity football team and played for four years. He also was one of the starting five of the 1975 varsity team that won Westfield's one and only state basketball championship. He shared with students that, while he will always be proud of those accomplishments, it is his salvation in Jesus Christ that is most important and life-changing. Thank you, Mayo, for speaking with our students today and for encouraging them in their walk with Christ. #wednesdayassembly #50yearsofwestfield #whsalumni #educationofmindandheart
