Today’s post is a salute to Westfield’s student clubs, organizations, and councils. Westfield's faculty and staff have always recognized the importance of student leadership and community service opportunities. In fact, within the first few months Westfield (then known as Perry Christian Day School) opened its doors, faculty and students had already formed the Key Club, Junior Civinette Club, and Coed-Y Club. Over the years, more clubs have been added including Beta Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Foreign Language Club, Tri-Hi-Y, Prayer Club, and many more. Whether academic, civic, or special interest related, these clubs provide students the opportunity to lead and serve others while bonding with fellow classmates. In addition to clubs, Westfield also provides opportunities for student leadership through the Middle and Upper School Student Councils. Helping students to build strong leadership skills and have servant's hearts is an essential part of our mission in preparing students for college and the future. #throwbackthursday #50yearsofwestfield
