On Friday, Westfall Elementary held an assembly to kick off the April Incentive. Members of the Building Leadership team challenged students during the month of April to earn 30 tickets by showing kindness toward others, going above and beyond each day, producing quality work, showing cooperation and perseverance, and doing things without being asked. Students who earn the 30 tickets will be treated to an ice cream sundae! Six students were chosen during the assembly to put a pie in Mr. Jude's and Mr. Kevin's faces to kick off the incentive!
Congratulations to our March Staff Members of the Month!
Jodi Butcher, Educational Aide
Allison Zombek, First-Grade Teacher
Erica Whitt, Third-Grade Teacher
Morgan Persinger, Intervention Specialist
