Wildcat Weekly
News from Westfield Elementary: March 27, 2026
Westfield Principal Kristen Ulery
Westfield families:
This week the teachers did an "underground spirit week" where each day had a theme that was not shared with students so the kids had to figure out what was happening on their own. The themes got progressively more obvious during the week, so Monday and Tuesday got past a lot of the kids. Today's vacation clothes were more noticeable, so you may or may not hear about it from your child.
Next week is spring break, and I've been hearing from your kids about what they plan to do with the week off. Remember that since we did not use an emergency day, school will not resume until Tuesday, April 7.
Have a great spring break!
Kristen Ulery
Westfield Principal
