Students in first grade made pumpkin playdough in the learning lab. First, they learned how to use measurements to create a recipe using cornstarch, pumpkin purée, and pumpkin spice. Then, if the recipe didn't work, they discussed which ingredients to adjust to improve it.
CONGRATULATIONS to our September REAL Mustangs! They were chosen by administration for being Reflective, Engaged, Achieving, and Leading. Keep up the great work!
Reminder for tomorrow's COLOR WAR!
The Pickaway County Soil & Water Conservation visited the first grade classrooms this week to teach the students about the pumpkin life cycle. Students then planted pumpkin seeds & created a pumpkin life cycle timeline!
Westfall Elementary Student Council will be hosting a drive-through Trunk or Treat this year on October 27! To help traffic flow smoothly, we've split the event into two groups. If you have students in both groups, you may choose the group you’d like to come with.

Student Council and the WES Counselors will be sponsoring a PJ Day on Thursday, September 16th. Students can bring in $1.00 to wear their pajamas. Please make sure the pajamas are school appropriate and you have proper shoes for gym or recess. Two of our Westfall Elementary families have experienced an unexpected loss in the last few months. ALL the proceeds from this day will be given to these families to help them during this time. If you wish to make any extra donations, those will also be given to the family as well. If you want to write a check, please make checks payable to Westfall Elementary Student Council. Thank you for your support!
Today, we remember all the lives we lost on that fateful day 20 years ago. The brave first responders who put themselves in harm’s way. The way our nation came together as one with a shared sense of patriotism, even if just for a moment. We will never forget.

As Patriot Day nears, marking the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, we encourage everyone to recognize this as a time to pause, reflect, and express gratitude for those who fight to protect us and preserve our freedom.
While crews are finishing the playground reconstruction, we ask that parents/guardians continue to pick-up & drop-off students in the front parking lot through Friday, September 10. To follow along with the playground progress, please visit the WES website at http://www.westfallschools.com.
Mrs. Woods' 2nd-grade class has been busy discussing the five steps of the scientific process. Recently, they experimented with M&Ms which allowed the students to make observations, ask questions, identify and control variables, and design a valid experiment.
Our bus drivers stayed after drop-off this morning to teach our preschoolers about bus safety. They reviewed bus rules, how to cross the street, understand hand signals, and practiced evacuating the bus. Thank you to Terri, Lisa and Cindy for teaching our kids how to be safe when riding the school bus!
AG DAY! Westfall FFA students taught 4th graders from around the county (including our Mustangs!) about livestock, bees, machinery, soil, and water during today's field trip at the Pickaway County Fairgrounds.
