In the spring of 2023, Westfall Elementary's first-grade team penned a grant to the Westfall Education Foundation to start a community garden on campus. As an extension of the Emily Nelson Memorial Rock Garden, the community garden will honor former educator Emily Nelson with the goal of providing fresh produce to our community. We thank the Westfall Education Foundation for this amazing opportunity and are excited to see our garden blossom year after year!
