Westmoor Weekly 11/7/2025

Dear Westmoor Families,

Fall is in full bloom throughout our school—crisp air, colorful leaves, and a season of fresh learning. We’re “falling into” reading and math with renewed excitement, embracing new skills just as we embrace the changing colors around us. It’s a wonderful time to grow, explore, and appreciate the beauty of the season together.

Next week, our students will participate in their monthly pack meetings on the 12th. Please remember to wear your tie-dye T-shirts to show our school spirit. In addition, we’ll be celebrating World Kindness Day on Thursday, November 13th. We encourage all students to wear Westmoor blue in support of kindness and positivity.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Each week students may submit a positive quote that captures and motivates their peers to persevere and feel good. We then showcase the quotes throughout the school building. Students may submit a quote, using this link.

We have our bulldog pack meeting this Wednesday. Please have your student wear their tie-dye shirt!

The lost and found is quickly filling up and we just cleared it out after conferences in mid-October. PLEASE make sure your students name is on their jackets, hats, sweatshirts! They may be cold in the classroom and then get hot in PE or it is cold in the morning and warmer in the afternoon, so jackets & sweatshirts go on and off frequently.

Sign UP

We’re excited to showcase the special moments and achievements of our students and their families. Whether it’s a holiday, cultural tradition, a child’s milestone like riding a bike without training wheels, a big win at a soccer game, welcoming a new pet, or anything else that makes you proud — we’d love to feature it! Here is the link to share a photo and brief description.

Join us for our November PTO meeting via zoom! We will be looking ahead to the rest of our planned activities through the end of 2025!

We are pleased to offer another Spirit wear sale just in time for the holidays! Please scan the QR code below to see all the new swag.

At last week's Board of Education meeting, the district shared exterior renderings for new additions and renovations at D28 schools, as part of the district's $94.9 million Build 28 initiative. The district is wrapping up the design phase for additions and renovations at Westmoor. The addition includes a new cafetorium, upgraded restrooms, and some interior renovations. Check out the photos below and click here to learn more about the construction timeline for Westmoor.

Are you seeking a nurturing and engaging early childhood program (ages 2-5) for your little one? Come enjoy a cup of coffee and donuts while you meet the caring staff from District 28's Young Explorers Program! See how the program inspires young minds through fun and education at a FREE community play date on Saturday, Nov. 8, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at Westmoor, which houses the program.

The annual D28 Faculty Recital will feature performances by our band, choir, and orchestra staff members, with guest appearances by other musically talented staff members! This FREE recital is open to the community. It will be held on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m. in the small gym at NBJH.

GBN invites District 28 families to its winter play, Peter and the Starcatcher, playing Nov. 13-15 at the Sheely Center for the Performing Arts. Peter and the Starcatcher is a comedic and fantastical play that serves as a prequel to Peter Pan, explaining how the orphan boy became Peter Pan and how Captain Hook became his nemesis. The story follows the boy and a girl named Molly as they embark on an adventure involving magical starstuff, pirates, and a faraway island. Reviews praise the show's imaginative humor, energy, and creative storytelling. Appropriate for all ages. Click here to purchase tickets!

The temperatures are dropping, and it’s warm coat weather. For more than a decade, the Rotary of Northbrook has been helping our communities stay warm during the winter with its annual "Coat Off Your Back" collection drive. The coat drive will provide winter coats for infants, children, teens, and adults via multiple outlets serving people in need, from the homeless to veterans, displaced families, and the elderly. You can drop off your donation at the donation bin located at the front of our school.
