Westfall Elementary School

Beau’s dad, Will Breyer, visited Mr. Payne’s Kindergarten classroom for a Workshop with Dads! He read “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” before helping the students create their own coconut trees to take home!

Mr. Payne’s class invites fathers, grandfathers, or any special father figure to join the class and enjoy an engaging and memorable classroom workshop. The workshop involves reading a favorite children’s book and helping with a simple craft project.

This initiative celebrates the role fathers play in their children’s lives and encourages their involvement in our school community. Thank you, Mr. Breyer, for joining us!

Reminder: There will be NO SCHOOL for students on Monday, November 17, 2025, due to a Teacher In-Service Day. Classes will resume on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.

This morning, our students had the opportunity to honor their family members who serve or have served in the military at our Veterans Day Breakfast. WES Student Council members served donuts and coffee while our Musical Mustangs performed on stage. Thank you to all who made this possible and to all the veterans who joined us to share this special day.

Miss Wolfe's third-grade class received another exciting package from the NFL—this time from the Green Bay Packers! Madyson was thrilled to open it and find player info cards, a pencil pouch filled with Packers pencils, a pen, erasers, and stickers. The package also included a thoughtful letter from the organization, thanking her for taking the time to write and encouraging her to learn more about the team’s history on their website. Thank you to the Green Bay Packers for making Madyson’s day a little brighter!

Our Mustang Buddies spent the afternoon together yesterday and had a fun time decorating their t-shirts! Their buddies even autographed their creations! Great job, Mustangs!

Tuesday was Election Day, and our students joined in on the excitement with their very own snack election! They had the tough task of choosing between pretzels and Goldfish. What a tough decision!

Our preschool bunny, Clara, joined the fun with a special write-in vote of her own!

The results are in! 339 votes for Goldfish, 180 votes for pretzels, and one vote for carrots! Goldfish is the winner!! Our students will enjoy Goldfish crackers as a reward!

We had a wonderful Friday afternoon celebrating the fall season with Harvest Parties! Thank you to our families, volunteers, and those who donated to make it a very special day!

It was such a special day in Mrs. Woods’ 2nd-grade classroom! Mrs. Dawn and Mrs. Woods’ mom, Mrs. Claudia, joined us to help the students bake pumpkin bread. The class worked together carefully measuring each ingredient and taking turns mixing the dry and wet ingredients before heading down to the cafeteria to bake.

Once the bread was ready, everyone had the chance to taste their creation—and it was unanimously declared the best thing they’ve ever tasted! A big thank-you to Mrs. Dawn, Mrs. Claudia, and the wonderful ladies in our cafeteria for helping make this fun and delicious project such a success!

Despite the rainy weather, Trunk or Treat was still a huge success after moving indoors! Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a fun night. We loved seeing all the creative candy stations, imaginative costumes, and the incredible support from our community.

A big thank-you to Student Council, WES Field of Dreams, and everyone who participated in making this a great event for our families!

As part of our PBIS program, students can earn tickets or points to purchase items or experiences from our Mustang PRIDE Store. One of the experiences available this year was a field trip to Deer Creek State Park. Students had to save 100 tickets to sign up and go. A total of 34 students in grades K–5 earned the trip and enjoyed a great day!

They visited the campground, had lunch, and completed a leaf journal activity with Naturalist Rylee. During their walk around the campground, students created leaf rubbings and learned to identify the trees they came from. The trip wrapped up with some fun at the playground before heading back to school!

Miss Wolfe’s third-grade class has tackled an exciting project this fall—bringing football into the classroom! Students drafted NFL teams as part of their math lessons, tracking team and quarterback stats each week while sharpening their data skills. They’ve also practiced their writing by sending letters to the teams they drafted.

The excitement reached a whole new level when Noah Snyder, who drafted the New Orleans Saints, received a special package from the team! The Saints sent an incredible care package filled with signed Game Day programs, Media Information Guides, Posters, lanyards, pins, and more!

Thank you, New Orleans Saints, for making learning unforgettable for our students!

Our Mustangs Student-Run Credit Union is excited to share a fun incentive! Open an account or make a deposit—even just a penny—and receive a FREE squishy sensory ball! It’s our way of saying thank you for supporting us. Don’t miss out—see you Friday!

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, November 10, and Thursday, November 13, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

On Thursday, October 23, students were welcomed by the WHS Pride of the Mustangs Band before an energetic PBIS assembly, which reviewed expectations for positive behavior this school year.

To keep the excitement going, our principals faced off in an energetic Principal Showdown! Six students who have consistently demonstrated positive behavior joined in the fun—racing against the clock to toss as many beach balls as possible into the “hoop!”

We also celebrated our spirit stick winners for the quarter: Mrs. Schrader’s Kindergarten class, Mrs. Woods’ 2nd-grade class, and Mrs. Moses’ 5th-grade class. Congratulations!

We recently celebrated our October Students of the Month at Westfall Elementary School! Families joined us for some delicious donuts while we recognized our outstanding students for their hard work and dedication. Each student received a special token for our new book vending machine, making it an extra sweet reward! We’re so proud of our students and can’t wait to see them dive into their new books! Way to go, Mighty Mustangs!
