This morning, Westfall Elementary celebrated a special milestone: Our 5th-grade students were officially promoted to middle school during a promotion ceremony. Students performed "This is Me" by Pasek & Paul from the movie, "The Greatest Showman," and listened to inspiring excerpts from Kobi Yamada's "Why Not?"

Each student received a yard sign and combination lock, generously provided by the Westfall CIA, to help them prepare for their new lockers this fall.

Congratulations to the class of 2033—we are so proud of you!

Earlier this week, DARE Officer Deputy Freeman hosted DARE in the DOME. Tiffany Singer, Public Information Officer, and Isabella Watkins, Public Health Educator, from Pickaway County Public Health, were on site to provide an enhancement lesson on the physical and mental toll developing student bodies are exposed to when consuming alcohol, tobacco, or vaping products. They used models of the human lung and mouth to explain health effects and substance use disorders.

After the lesson, Pickaway County Public Health provided six pairs of visual impairment goggles, which DARE graduates used while trying to push friends on scooters through an obstacle course, playing kickball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Students observed how simple childhood play becomes severely difficult when their senses are altered.

Thank you, Deputy Freeman, Tiffany Singer, Isabella Watkins, and the entire Pickaway County Public Health team for putting on such an impactful, hands-on event for our students. We truly appreciate your dedication to keeping our students informed and safe.

Career Day - An informational flyer for Westfall Elementary Career Day, taking place on Friday, May 15th. The top of the flyer features bold text and wavy line patterns, explaining that students will explore community jobs and see professional vehicles and equipment. It advises parents that students will be outside for an extended period and should bring jackets, hats, sunglasses, and water, and apply sunscreen before school. A row of colorful icons depicts a dump truck, a tractor, an excavator, an ambulance, and a food truck. The bottom section includes a satellite map with white arrows indicating a revised traffic flow for morning drop-off, which will occur in the staff parking lot at a door marked with a white star. A red "X" marks a restricted area, and the text notes that afternoon pickup will remain in the back as usual.
