Happy National Assistant Principals Day to Mrs. Cooper, Mr. Pentiuk, and Mrs. Kelley! Our Assistant Principals give their best to our Mustangs every day, and we are so grateful for their leadership. Thank you for always going above and beyond supporting our school and making a difference in our student's lives. We appreciate you!
It's Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! Our paraprofessionals are vital in ensuring student success. They inspire, motivate, empower and challenge students every day, all while helping teachers. If you see a paraprofessional today, be sure to say THANK YOU!
From our Mustang family to yours, we wish you all a happy and healthy Easter!

Ms. Wolfe's Kindergarten class walked over to the middle school yesterday to deliver over 2,600 plastic bottle caps and lids, donating them toward the recycling project that transforms them into benches that will last a lifetime. The true value comes from the profound experience that children can make a difference! They can see, sit on, and donate to their community the very results of their work, which is the most-perfect-real-life example of sustainability. Great job, Mustangs!
Just a reminder that there will be NO SCHOOL Thursday, April 1 - Monday, April 5 for Spring Break! Classes will resume on Tuesday, April 6, 2021.
Congratulations to Sharon Link for being presented with Sunny 95 and CME Federal Credit Union Hometown Hero Award! Nominated by co-worker Devon Ryan, Sharon is a true servant of the Westfall community. She works tirelessly as a high school special education teacher, collaborating with others to improve access for her students. She volunteers with the athletics program for fundraising and volunteers before school with the Pickaway County Homeless Shelter. On top of all this, Sharon is integral to the functioning of Westfall CARES, which serves families in the school district that face food insecurity. Thank you for all you do for the community and our #mustangfamily, Sharon! You truly are our "Hometown Hero!"
