The students and staff at Westfall Middle School recently donated handmade Christmas stockings to veterans, each with a note thanking them for their service.
As part of our annual community service project led by the wonderful Ms. T, staff wrapped and stuffed Christmas boxes with small toys, socks, crayons, and books to be delivered to Pickaway County Children Services to distribute to the children in their care this holiday season!
Out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our performers, Westfall Middle School has made the decision to cancel the virtual band and choir concert that had been scheduled for December 8.

Today, Pickaway County became a “RED” county due to an increased number of active COVID-19 cases in the county.
I want to remind you that, instead of changing our means of delivering education to our students as our county alert level changes, we will examine the data within each of our school buildings in order to make changes. We will not move directly to a hybrid model automatically.
Currently, Westfall has two positive cases at Westfall Elementary and three positive cases at the high school. These cases were identified yesterday and anyone needing to be quarantined has been notified.
We have had very few positive cases since we resumed five-day-a-week classes. We will continue to monitor cases within Westfall Local Schools and exercise thorough safety measures.

I am so thankful for the Westfall community. Your approval of the bond issue, allowing us to greatly improve our facilities, will benefit Westfall students for years to come. The impact that you have made on this community is immeasurable!
I am thankful to the Board of Education for their vision! The bond issue committee, Community for Westfall Schools, worked so hard to make this happen by getting the positive message out to our constituents. Their tireless efforts were amazing to me, as was the financial support that many donors gave to this endeavor.
Because of your support, great things are going to happen at Westfall!
Go Mustangs!
Jeff Sheets
