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!
Students are invited to bring their Veterans to our Veterans Day Breakfast, sponsored by the Westfall Elementary Student Council! The event will include a performance by the Musical Mustangs and a special recognition of our Veterans. Donuts and coffee will be served. We look forward to celebrating with you on November 11 at 8:00 AM!
Our morning student drop-off line had a fun Halloween twist today with new traffic cones guiding cars through the line! Thank you to Joy Sharrett and Mikaela Marshall for getting in the spirit and making drop-off a little more fun for everyone!
While our students’ artwork was on display at the Pumpkin Show, an employee from The Ohio Environmental Agency loved our third graders’ art so much that she reached out to Miss Marshall to ask if it could be displayed at their National Convention, November 12–14, for more than 1,500 attendees from across the country. How exciting!
Congratulations to the winners of our Staff Chili Cookoff!

Deputy Freeman recently visited Mrs. Woods’ class as a guest reader! He shared The Big Umbrella before leading a group discussion about kindness and inclusion. He then created a visual of how they can be someone else’s “umbrella” by helping others. Thanks, Deputy Freeman!

Mrs. Bond’s 4th-grade class studied the literal heart… literally! Through a generous donation from Train Station Meats & Market LLC in Circleville, the class examined two real bovine hearts—one intact to study the external structure and one filleted to observe the internal chambers, valves, and vessels. This hands-on experience brought their science lessons to life and gave students a realistic view of how the heart works.
Today, our 5th-graders had the incredible opportunity to tour Ohio Stadium at The Ohio State University! They learned about the history of the stadium’s construction, explored the press boxes, luxury suites, Steinbrenner Band Center, and football locker room before running through the tunnel and onto the field!
This experience created memories they will never forget. A huge thank you to The Ohio State University for the unforgettable tour, and to Westfall Elementary CIA - Community in Action, Westfall Education Foundation, Westfall Field of Dreams, Mrs. Patterson, and Mrs. Wolfe for making this wonderful opportunity possible!
