Hello Westfield families!
The weather still feels like summer, but fall activities are underway all over campus. Students are joining clubs, rehearsing for one-act play, learning music for the fall chorus concert, and playing fall sports. In classrooms throughout every division, student learning is ongoing daily as teachers utilize a blend of different learning tools, technology, collaboration, and meaningful activities. We are grateful for the opportunity to provide a quality educational experience in a Christian environment for each and every child. Thank you for your support of Westfield and for being partners with us in educating your children! #educationofmindandheart
The 2019-2020 school year marks Westfield’s 50th Anniversary! To help us celebrate, we will be sharing special stories, pictures, memories, etc. throughout the year and we need your help. Please share your Westfield story with us! Is there a teacher or coach who made an impact on your life? A special moment or funny memory that stands out to you? Please submit your story to [email protected] or shoot us a Facebook message. We’ll collect and share them as we celebrate 50 years of excellence.
Today’s throwback post is a salute to the first Hornet Football Team. The Hornets played their first region season in the Fall of 1973 under the tutelage of Coach Marvin Arrington. The young team completed the season 3-3 in the region and 6-4 overall. Our 2019 Hornet Football team will kick off their season this Friday at Terrell Academy in Dawson. We hope you will join us and help cheer the Hornets on to victory! #50yearsofwestfield #westfieldfootball
