Principal Corner
Thank you to all Westwood Staff members for an amazing day of work last Friday during our 2 hour early release day. It was great having the entire staff together learning and collaborating. Your input is valued and I appreciate the positive attitude in which tackle concerns at Westwood. A big shout out to our Leadership Team for facilitating conversations last week. The strength of our building is leading from within and I value all our teacher leaders in our building. You are an amazing staff and I know you have heard that before, but kudos to all of you!!!
Admin Intern Report
I appreciated our conversations around Culture, Climate, and Self-Care last Friday. It has been wonderful to listen to and read your feedback. So many of us took Friday as an opportunity to recommit to a Self Care ritual that we may have been neglecting, as October and November often leaving us feeling like “Bulls”. Continue to do things to feed your soul. You deserve it! Remember at Westwood what you DO matters, and what you THINK matters!

Westwood 50th Anniversary Celebration
We will be hosting a celebration event for former staff and students of Westwood on Thursday, November 14th. We have sent out invitations and promoted the event through various social media outlets. It will be a casual event, and if you have time in your day, please stop down to the Media Center that day for cake and refreshments. The time of event will be 10:00-11:30.
Holiday Gift Shop
Many of us have crafty talents and there is nothing better than homemade holiday gifts. It is also a lot of fun to see each others unique talents. During Thanksgiving week (November19-21), let’s open a holiday gift shop in the extended teacher’s lounge. Bring in your crafts with name and prices. Payments can be made directly to the crafter. This is a fun way to cross some people off your list and put a little holiday money in your wallet.
