Merry Christmas! This week, our students are completing their final classwork and exams for the semester to begin the Christmas holiday season. From Christmas art and decorations throughout campus to pajama days, Christmas parties, and a Happy Birthday party to celebrate Jesus' birth, Westfield is in the Christmas spirit! We are thankful to have completed the fall semester with in person instruction on campus every day amidst the COVID pandemic. Thank you for your support of Westfield!

Don't forget...tomorrow (Friday, Dec 18th) is a noon dismissal. Buses will run (approximately 12:05 pm departure).

We wish you and your family a safe, healthy, and joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing our students back on campus on Tuesday, January 5, 2021!
Christmas at Westfield
One of our favorite Christmas traditions is the annual senior Christmas breakfast! We are so thankful that the Class of 2021 was able to gather together this morning...and we missed several who were unable to be here today. Merry Christmas to the Class of 2021! #westfieldtraditions #whsclassof2021 #merrychristmas
