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!
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.
