Westwood Elementary

This week we’re celebrating Mrs. Lynette Curzon, our amazing EAST teacher! 🤩 She is truly loved by our students — the kids who are in her class ALWAYS want to be there! 📚💙 Mrs. Curzon guides students through meaningful community projects, teaches them to be innovative thinkers, and inspires them to make a difference. 🌍✨Because of her leadership, our EAST program even earned the prestigious Founder’s Award last year! 🏆 Her support doesn’t stop with students — she’s always there for our substitute teachers, too. Mrs. Curzon is a bright star in our school, and we are so grateful for her! 💫💐

A message from Mr. Stewart to our Westwood family/community...

If you are planning to attend our class parties tomorrow at 2:15, just a reminder to complete the form so your "fast pass" will be ready, and you can skip the line. Forms must be completed by 9 am Friday to have fast passes printed. Hope to see you soon! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScG1ORnoshjTNHAF85_ScbNp8DglLfJhZahXul8PLvubQPpQg/viewform

Yesterday, our Pack 2.0 families participated in a Christmas celebration of clubs and were able to enjoy activities that represent each club from the program. Families also received fun materials and activities that will help them extend their learning over the winter break. It was a lot of fun for everyone! A huge thank you to Mrs. Aleman and everyone who helped put the event together! #SpringdaleFamily

Our Wolves are loving Grinch Week! From festive activities to lots of smiles and laughter, our halls are full of holiday cheer. The Grinch may try to steal Christmas, but he doesn’t stand a chance against the kindness, creativity, and excitement of our students. Thanks for making Grinch Week such a joyful celebration!

This week, Westwood is proud to celebrate Mrs. Shelbi Rains, our amazing GT teacher! 💛 Shelbi goes above and beyond for her GT students, helping them meet project deadlines, providing extra time and support when needed, and finding creative ways to challenge and inspire them. Her dedication ensures that every GT student has the tools and guidance to succeed. Beyond her work with students, Shelbi’s enthusiasm and positivity light up our school. Her students adore her, and our staff is so grateful for the joy, energy, and commitment she brings to Westwood every day. ✨📚💛

We still have lots of tacos and papusas- head over to WW!

The food is hot and ready- come by Westwood anytime until 2:00 to help raise money for the Stewarts!

Students had a blast drawing cheerful snowmen and cozy igloos, letting their creativity shine with every snowy detail. We love seeing their imaginations come to life through art, one frosty masterpiece at a time!

Just a reminder- drop by Westwood anytime between 8-2 tomorrow (Sunday) to buy some yummy food- all proceeds go to the Stewarts.

These Wolves stood out as shining examples of our PACK Promise, and we couldn’t be prouder of the leadership, kindness, and hard work they show every day. Way to go, Wolves! Keep leading the pack! #SpringdaleFamily
