Career Day is coming to Westfall Elementary on Friday, May 17! This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn and explore different careers in the community; some will even have vehicles or equipment that they utilize in their everyday work!
Congratulations to our April Students of the Month for showing Mustang PRIDE!

There are still a few left! If you forgot to order a yearbook, a limited number of extras are available for purchase. They are $25 and can be purchased with cash (exact amount, please; no change is available) or a check written to Westfall Elementary School. We will sell them on a first-come, first-served basis until they are gone!
You can email Miss Wynkoop at katie.wynkoop@westfallschools.com to reserve an extra yearbook for your student or send in payment with your student to purchase.
Field Day is May 21 with inflatables, games, a dunk tank, and snow cones—it'll be a blast! Students (PK-5) must have a signed permission slip to participate. We are also looking for volunteers to help run the stations! Permission slips and volunteer forms will be sent home soon.
A vending machine... for books! Check out this awesome new addition to Westfall Elementary School! We are so grateful for the staff and community members who made this happen. We have a good feeling that "Inchy's Bookworm Vending Machine" gets lots of use from our students.
Yearbooks have arrived and should be coming home sometime this week!

Reminder: With the rare total solar eclipse on Monday, April 8, 2024, casting parts of Ohio into temporary darkness, Westfall Local School District is proactively adjusting its academic calendar for the safety of its students and staff.
As the eclipse coincides with many schools' dismissal times, we understand the potential traffic concerns. Following guidance and consultation with local law enforcement agencies, Westfall Local Schools has decided to cancel school for students and staff on Monday, April 8, 2024, to ensure everyone's safety during this unique celestial event.
We understand this schedule change may impact families' plans for the day. However, our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
For more information about the Total Solar Eclipse, including how to view it safely, please visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/.
