The Westmoreland Wrap Up
February 16, 2024
Spirit Week!
In honor of Random Acts of Kindness Day, students participated in a special spirit week dedicated to the theme of KINDNESS! During the week, students dressed in fun attire to show their school spirit and participated in daily activities to help our kindnesses bloom into a schoolwide garden. From creating "compli-mats" for classmates to the beautiful artwork and kind messages hanging around our school, this was a great week to refocus in on the power and importance of kindness.
As you can imagine, Valentine's Day was a big (and crazy) success, filled with creative activities designed by our teachers to make learning even more SWEET!
The Dragon King
In honor of the Lunar New Year, students enjoyed a traditional marionette puppet show entitled The Dragon King. Our students were amazed watching how the puppets moved and screamed with delight when the dragon finally came at the end of the performance bringing lots of rain!!! Thank you to the Westmoreland PTO for funding this amazing experience for our students!
Mad Science After School Classes
The district continues to offer enrichment opportunities for students at a discounted rate.Registration for the spring session of Mad Science will open on March 9th at 9:00 a.m.
Upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences
The week of February 26th is dedicated to parent teacher conferences for students in grades K-4. Parents can sign up for a conference using the Genesis Portal. Students will be dismissed at 12:45 on February 28th and February 29th due to conferences.
Please remember on half days, lunch is not served. If you did not preorder pizza from the PTO sale, please send lunch to school with your child.
Good Will Ambassadors Character Band Aid Drive
The Westmoreland Good Will Ambassadors are at it again! This month, they are running a character band aid drive to bring smiles to children receiving care at the Hackensack Hospital Pediatric Cancer Center. A current student, who previously received treatment at the center, brought this wonderful idea to our attention last year. We hope to surpass last year's donation!
So far, we have collected 47 boxes of bandaids.
