Today, we celebrate Administrative Professionals' Day! We are happy to share this special day with our incredible team of administrative support staff. We want to take a moment and thank these six individuals for their hard work and dedication to Westfall Local Schools. Janet Adams (WES), Carole Moore (WES), Tish Chenoweth (WMS), Liz Durflinger (WHS), Tammee Kaminski (WHS Guidance), and Paula Dumm (District).
These six ladies are the glue that helps keep our school together! They keep our buildings running smoothly, make sure students are where they are supposed to be, and always provide a friendly face for parents and community members when they enter our school.
Happy Administrative Professionals' Day!

From our Mustang family to yours, we wish you all a happy and healthy Easter!
Ms. Wolfe's Kindergarten class walked over to the middle school yesterday to deliver over 2,600 plastic bottle caps and lids, donating them toward the recycling project that transforms them into benches that will last a lifetime. The true value comes from the profound experience that children can make a difference! They can see, sit on, and donate to their community the very results of their work, which is the most-perfect-real-life example of sustainability. Great job, Mustangs!
Just a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL Thursday, April 1 - Monday, April 5 for Spring Break! Classes will resume on Tuesday, April 6, 2021.
Congratulations to Sharon Link for being presented with Sunny 95 and CME Federal Credit Union Hometown Hero Award! Nominated by co-worker Devon Ryan, Sharon is a true servant of the Westfall community. She works tirelessly as a high school special education teacher, collaborating with others to improve access for her students. She volunteers with the athletics program for fundraising and volunteers before school with the Pickaway County Homeless Shelter. On top of all this, Sharon is integral to the functioning of Westfall CARES, which serves families in the school district that face food insecurity. Thank you for all you do for the community and our #mustangfamily, Sharon! You truly are our "Hometown Hero!"
