Stuff the Bus: A Summer of Giving!
What a summer it has been! Our Stuff the Bus campaign was a tremendous success, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community. Throughout July, families, businesses, and community partners came together to donate much-needed school supplies for the Shamrock Supply Hub, helping ensure our staff have access to the supplies they need throughout the school year.
We were especially grateful for everyone who stopped by our Stuff the Bus events at Office Depot and Walmart. Your generosity filled our collection bins and helped us stock the Shamrock Supply Hub with supplies for the 2026–2027 school year.
A huge thank-you goes to all of our community partners, volunteers, businesses, and donors who helped make Stuff the Bus possible. From donating supplies to spreading the word and lending a helping hand, every contribution makes a difference.
Because of your support, our teachers and staff can shop the Shamrock Supply Hub for classroom essentials—at no cost to them. Thank you for helping us kick off the school year by supporting the people who make a difference for our students every day!
Welcoming the Class of 2030!
Our Freshman Yard Sign Fundraiser was a huge success! This summer, our community came together to welcome the newest members of the Shamrock family, with 99 yard signs sold to celebrate our incoming Class of 2030.
We loved seeing these signs pop up throughout the community as families proudly welcomed their future Shamrocks to Westfield High School. This fun fundraiser not only helped support the Foundation but also created a special way for our community to celebrate this exciting milestone with our incoming freshmen.
A big thank you to everyone who purchased a sign and helped make this fundraiser such a success. And to the volunteers who helped deliver signs throughout the community—thank you for making sure our Class of 2030 felt the Shamrock spirit before they even stepped through the doors!
Welcome to Westfield High School, Class of 2030! We’re so excited to have you! ☘💚
