Firefighters Russell McGinnis and Gabe Shonkwiler visited Westfall's five preschool classes yesterday! The kids learned about family safety, when to call 911, how to crawl under smoke, the stop/drop/roll method, smoke detectors, and fire gear.
Kat from Pickaway County Soil & Water visited with our first-graders today to teach them about the life cycle of a pumpkin, just in time for the Circleville Pumpkin Show! The students had a blast with a fun activity to reinforce their learning and even got to plant their very own pumpkin seeds to take home! We can't wait to hear about their pumpkins' progress! Thank you so much, Kat! We truly appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge about the environment with us!
What a great way to start the day!!

Westfall Elementary's Field of Dreams Committee is hosting "Christmas in October," a silent auction for theme-decorated Christmas trees in memory of beloved colleague Cindy McCoy. The WES staff will decorate trees and be available at a silent auction. This year, our trees are in memory of beloved Westfall colleague Cindy McCoy. Cindy is a former 2nd-grade teacher who taught for over 25 years at Westfall Elementary. Shortly after retiring in 2011, she was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Cindy fought a courageous battle with this brutal disease for years before passing away in November 2021. A portion of the proceeds from this fundraiser will be donated to The ALS Association in her memory.
How will the auction work?
Pictures of the decorated trees will be posted on the WES Facebook page by Wednesday, October 23, or sooner. Bidding can begin there but will continue in person during Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 30. You do not have to be present to win but to ensure a win, you will want to be present when the auction ends at 7:00 PM. Payment will be due when you pick up the tree. (cash or checks written to WEF-FOD) If you win the bid on Facebook, someone will contact you within a day or two of the auction to arrange pickup of your tree.
Thank you for supporting Field of Dreams and helping us honor Cindy's love for the Westfall community and school!
Yesterday was a "pawsitively" amazing day at Westfall Elementary School! Randy, a therapy dog from the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office, along with handler Chase Bergoon, brought smiles to students as he visited the classrooms. Randy, like many specially trained therapy dogs, offers emotional support and companionship to those facing trauma, stress, or grief, helping to reduce anxiety and enhance well-being. Thank you, Randy and Chase, for making such a wonderful impact!
