Westlake Elementary School
🍀🍀 March Highlights 🍀🍀
March will be both busy and fun for our students! STEM Fest, sponsored by WES PTA, continues for grades PK, K and 1, with assemblies and hands-on activities from COSI. Later in the month, STEM Fest wraps up with Great Shows for Kids for PK, K, and 2nd grade, and the make-up COSI day for our 3rd graders - who missed their event due to a cold weather school closure. A big focus for us this month is reading, and our 3rd graders will have another excursion to Porter Library. WES PTA will kick off WES Reads Together, a wonderful event both at school and at home. Our families will receive a copy of Lucy's Lab (one per family, donated by our PTA), and we encourage you to read this book with your child(ren). Some guest readers have been recorded reading the chapters - watch here for the link! Towards the end of the month, we will run our annual spring food drive. All donations directly serve families in Westlake through the city's Food Pantry in the Community Services department and Meals on Wheels. During that same time frame, we will also be collecting gently worn Crocs for the Footpath Foundation. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
