Today is School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! Our bus drivers play an important role in the safety of our students. They dedicate their time and talent to ensure our students are transported safely to and from school and activities each day. They are unsung heroes in our Westfall community, and we appreciate them not only today but every day!
Teachers inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. In the past year, they persevered despite the challenges thrown their way amid the COVID-19 pandemic. While thanking teachers should not be a once-a-year event, we have an opportunity with Teacher Appreciation Week, May 3-7, to share our gratitude. This year, more than ever, we owe them our thanks for their unwavering dedication and commitment to their students and families. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Today, principals are so much more than a face behind the desk. They are educators, mentors, collaborators, and leaders. They are the motivating force for students, teachers, and support staff. Setting the tone for their entire building, it’s their guidance and leadership that helps everyone succeed.
On May 1, 2021, join us in saying thank you to these individuals who go above and beyond as part of National School Principals’ Day. We celebrate, appreciate, and value Mr. Patete, Mr. Fife, and Mr. Dennis for their dedication to student growth and learning and their support and instruction for staff.
One of our preschool classes celebrated Earth Day by learning about reducing, reusing, and recycling. They saved their milk cartons to paint and plant sunflower seeds.
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!
