WES Student Council is hosting a traditional Trunk or Treat Wednesday, October 26, from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM. Staff and community members will be set up in front of the school. You can park your car and walk on the sidewalk to visit each car to get candy and treats.
Student Council is also hosting a silent auction in loving memory of Tiffany Elster. We will be auctioning off painted foam pumpkins. All the proceeds from this auction will go to providing Christmas meals for WES families because Tiffany loved Christmas. You do not need to be present to win. Because of Tiffany's love of Christmas, the Field of Dreams Committee will also host a silent auction for decorated themed Christmas trees. These proceeds will go back to WES in Tiffany's memory to provide enrichment grants for students and staff. We hope to have pictures available on the WES Facebook page about a week prior to the event. Thank you for supporting Student Council and Field of Dreams and for helping us honor Tiffany's love for the Westfall community and school!
We look forward to seeing you at this fun community event!

Westfall Elementary 5th graders have begun to work in our Mustang STEM Innovation Lab using the Engineering Design Process. They had so much fun Asking, Imagining, Planning, Creating, Sharing, and Improving their designs. They built zip lines using legos and materials during week one. The following week, they learned about catapults and trebuchets and built their catapults to see how far a mini marshmallow could fly, focusing on design and distance. We can’t wait for everyone else at WES to experience these design challenges in the Mustang STEM Innovation Lab!
