Here is the Lunch Menu for the month of September. See you tomorrow morning, Wolves!
Every Friday afternoon, as the school week draws to a close, our Student Safety Patrol takes on the important responsibility of lowering the school flag. This weekly ritual is a reminder of the values our school holds dear. A big shout out to our CSSO, Mr. Ranger, for teaching our Wolves about honor and respect.

This Week in Westwood EAST
EAST students took on the role of mayor, managing a year-long budget for their city. Armed with budget dollars (Smartie Candies!), they had to allocate funds to the sectors they believed were most crucial to their city's success. After making tough decisions and passing on some important projects, disaster struck, forcing them to reallocate funds.
Students quickly realized that being a mayor is a much harder job than they expected, and it can be frustrating—especially when you can’t put all the money toward animal projects!
A special thanks to our Westwood family for sponsoring so many books for this year's Christmas Bags!
Lots of new information as well as celebrations in this week's edition of our Family Newsletter. Don't forget, NO school on Monday, September 2nd in honor of Labor Day!

🎄 Christmas in August at EAST!🎄
Yes, we're planning ahead! This year, our amazing EAST students are giving the gift of reading to every student at Westwood Elementary. Each child will receive a book in a special Christmas bag, and you can help make it happen! 📚
For just $3, you can sponsor a book for a Westwood student. Keep an eye out for more details and a white envelope in your child's Tuesday folder. Simply add $3 inside the envelope and send it back to school! EAST students will take care of rest❤️
This Week in Westwood EAST:
Our students explored 10 different technologies and completed a survey to choose the one they want to become experts in. One of our community partners, an occupational therapist from the Children's Therapy Team, shared a fascinating low-tech solution she uses with one of her clients. The students are filled with curiosity, wondering what it is and how it can make a difference! Once the EAST students discover what it is they will begin brainstorming how it could be transformed into a high-tech, 3D-designed permanent solution.

We are ready! Please be patient with the car line this week- it will start slow but get faster- it helps if kids are ready to get themselves in and out of the car with parents staying in. We will be there to help. See you soon!
We are so ready to see our Wolves Monday! We are going to experience the magic of wonder!
