Westmoor Update
~~~"A place where a student can dream, plan and achieve!"~~~
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Week of January 18th
Westmoor Learning Community,
Let's continue to work together to ensure our students are able to learn and connect during Distance Learning. Each one of our teachers are designing engaging lessons while also recognizing the challenges students are facing. Our ASB Director, Mr. Simon, has the task of leading student government. These students are typically in charge of rallies, dances and other school spirit events. They are diligently working together to find ways to keep school spirit alive. We also have our grade level classrooms and students have an opportunity to submit their pictures for Westmoor Wednesdays.
Life has certainly delivered a plethora of challenges and complications. The good news is that we all are pulling together to get through this--Westmoor Strong!
Dream and Achieve,
Principal Grace Strickland
