These pictures highlight moments from throughout the entire month as our students earned their Howling With Pride awards! Each student recognized has been consistently following our PACK Promise. We’re so proud of our Wolves and the leadership they show. Keep leading the pack with pride, Wolves! #Springdalefamily

Our 2nd graders had a special treat today, they traded in their tickets for a chance to eat lunch right in the classroom with their teachers! We are so thankful for our amazing 2nd grade team for creating these moments that strengthen connections, spark conversations, and build meaningful relationships. It’s the little things that make a big difference! #springdalefamily

Westwood families, apparently we don't have a lot of tamale makers :) so we are going to plan B- we are going to have a kermes/fundraiser here at Westwood on Sunday, Dec. 7th with proceeds going to Mr. Stewart. We will send more information home in Tuesday folders when we get back from Thanksgiving!

4th/5th grade honor choir families- just a reminder that choir WILL MEET tomorrow after school until 3:45. We have another district choir teacher coming to help them prepare for the Dec. 5th Caroling on the Creeks performance.

⭐️💙 The Star Above All Stars! 💙⭐️This week we’re celebrating Mr. Ranger, our incredible CSSO! 💫 He truly does it all — protecting our students and staff, celebrating birthdays, fixing things around the school, eating lunch with students, and teaching important lessons about safety. 🛠️🎉🍎 Mr. Ranger is a man of many hats, and he wears each one with pride and heart. The kids absolutely adore him — he’s their hero, and ours too! 💛👮‍♂️🌟

PACK 2.0 families stopped by this morning to connect with community resources, gather helpful information, and best of all, pick up a FREE turkey. I mean… who doesn’t love a free turkey in November? We loved seeing everyone come together to learn, share, and support one another. A huge shout out to Mrs. Santillo and Ms. Aleman for getting everything organized and making today run so smoothly. We appreciate you! What a great Saturday for our PACK! #SpringdaleFamily

Turkey time in the art room! Our students have been busy drawing and coloring the most creative, colorful turkeys you’ve ever seen! From bright feathers to silly expressions, each masterpiece shows just how imaginative our young artists are. We love seeing their creativity shine! #SpringdaleFamily

Our PACK Pride was in FULL force today! We loved celebrating our incredible students during our monthly PACK Pride Assembly! From big smiles to big achievements, our wolves showed what being part of this pack is all about. And a HUGE shout out to Mr. Jackson for absolutely bringing the house down! His energy, fun, and heart made the whole place come alive. What a great way to keep our Wolf PACK spirit strong! #SpringdaleFamily

Something special happens when our students step into the library! From diving into new stories to working on STEAM projects and collaborating with friends, it’s pure magic watching their creativity and love for learning shine. #SpringdaleFamily

This week we’re celebrating Mrs. Nancy Aguilar, our incredible school custodian! 💛 Westwood simply wouldn’t be the same without her — this place would fall apart without all that she does! 🏫 She keeps our school running smoothly and always goes above and beyond to help wherever she’s needed. Her hard work, dedication, and kindness don’t go unnoticed — we appreciate her more than words can say! 💐💪 We love you, Mrs. Aguilar! 🌟🩵

Our 3rd graders had an awesome day cheering on the Women's Basketball Team at the University of Arkansas!!! It was such a fun field trip filled with school spirit, teamwork, and big smiles. We loved watching the Razorbacks in action and getting a glimpse of what it means to be part of the Hog family! WOO PIG SOOIE!!! #WPS #GoHogs #WolfPride #SpringdaleFamily

Our 3rd graders are signing up for a Reading Challenge and it’s going to be pawsitively amazing! Students who sign up will get to “adopt a pet” reading pal and even give it a name! Every time they read 100 minutes, they’ll earn a special prize to celebrate their progress. Let’s cheer them on as they dive into great books and become reading superstars! Make sure your 3rd grader signs up to join the fun! #SpringdaleFamily

Our Safety Patrol took their commitment to helping others to the next level today! They learned all about CPR, what it means, why it’s important, and how it can save lives. Each student even received a Certificate of Participation from Mr. Ranger and Nurse Cara for their effort and enthusiasm in learning this important life skill. We’re so proud of our Safety Patrol for always leading with responsibility and heart! #SpringdaleFamily
