Drama Club had a blast playing “Family Photo”! Students used their creativity, teamwork, and acting skills to strike fun poses and create imaginative family portraits. We love seeing our Wolf Pack bring each scene to life! #SpringdaleFamily

Happy National IT Professional Day! Today we’re celebrating our amazing Ms. Jen Snow and all she does to keep us connected, supported, and ready to learn! From troubleshooting technology to always being there when we need her, we’re so thankful to have her as part of our PACK! #SpringdaleFamily

Our 2nd grade adventure at Apple Seeds was too good for just one post! Our Wolves continued exploring, learning, and making connections through STEM while enjoying a day outside the classroom with one of our wonderful community partners. We love seeing curiosity come to life! Enjoy a few more pictures of Mrs. Bell's class from their field trip and all the smiles, discoveries, and fun along the way! #SpringdaleFamily

In art class, Ms. Mitchell’s class had a woolly wonderful time learning all about alpacas and llamas! Students then added these adorable animals to their line-design backgrounds, creating colorful, creative masterpieces full of personality. We loved watching each student’s unique artwork come to life! #Springdalefamily

Yesterday was a great day for Hazel because she got to spend some time with her Wolves! Whether she was stopping by for a visit, soaking up some extra love, or simply hanging out with some of her favorite students, Hazel was right where she loves to be. These pictures say it all. Hazel loves her Wolves, and they sure do love her right back! Days are always a little sweeter when Hazel is around! #SpringdaleFamily

These screeners help us learn more about where students are starting the year and how we can best support their learning and growth. Please check out the graphic below for important dates, times, and information.

Last Friday, we celebrated the Alpha Team’s hard work with a well-earned donut breakfast and their new Alpha shirts! Later that day, they put their leadership skills into action by helping our kindergarten students learn how to sit, listen, and participate during their first awards assembly. We’re so proud of this team and the wonderful example they set for our younger Wolves! #SpringdaleFamily

Our first PACK Parade Assembly was a great way to end the week on Friday! We love coming together as a Wolf Pack to celebrate students and recognize all the great things happening around Westwood. Our Safety Team presented Safety Awards, and our Specials teachers recognized students for their hard work and accomplishments. We also celebrated the classes keeping Westwood looking its best with awards for the cleanest classroom and restrooms, along with the grade level that did an amazing job keeping the PACK Promise during lunch and leaving the cafeteria clean! Please congratulate Ms. Mitchell's class for winning the cleanest classroom award! YAY!!! There was so much to celebrate at our first PACK Parade, and we’re proud of our Wolves for showing what it means to be part of the Pack! #SpringdaleFamily

Hazel is back on the job! This time, she’s helping our Wolves practice what a great line looks like. Straight line, safe feet, ready to go. Hazel has it down! She loves spending time in the building with her Wolves, and we think they’re pretty happy to have her around, too! #SpringdaleFamily

Sometimes the best inspiration is right outside the window! With construction happening just outside Westwood, one of our Wolves took a little time to sketch what he saw in action. We love seeing students turn everyday moments into opportunities to observe, create, and wonder! #SpringdaleFamily

Ms. Gaucin’s students did an amazing job on their first art project! Inspired by the cover of a book they read in class, students brought their own creativity to life through art. What a wonderful way to connect reading and imagination! #SpringdaleFamilies

Our social worker, Mrs. Lilly Martens, showed our Pre-K friends some butterfly chrysalises, and they were fascinated! They took turns looking through their “binoculars” to get a closer look at the tiny chrysalises. 🔍🦋

We can’t wait to watch the butterflies emerge and, just like our little Wolves, spread their wings and fly! 💙🐺🦋
