Westwood Elementary

Our 5th grade students participated in a “Gallery Walk” where they shared thoughtful compliments on their classmates’ amazing artwork! These projects have been in the works for almost two months, and the creativity and effort really showed. We’re so proud of their hard work and the way they supported one another! #SpringdaleFamily

Students had a blast dressing up from different eras for Red Ribbon Week! It wasn’t just fun for the students, teachers and staff joined in on the time-traveling fun too! Don’t forget, tomorrow is Wear Red Day to show your support for living a drug free life! #SpringdaleFamily

The Wild Dog Mini-Races scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 29th have been postponed due to the weather forecast. We don't have the new date yet. Stay tuned!

Yesterday was such an exciting day for our kindergarten students! They went on a field trip to Farmland Adventures and had an unforgettable time exploring the farm. From seeing animals up close to enjoying wagon rides and corn mazes, our youngest learners had a blast discovering all the fun that farm life offers. We love seeing their smiles and curiosity grow on days like this. What a wonderful adventure for our little Wolves! #SpringdaleFamily

We’re kicking off the week strong! Students are teaming up against drugs by showing off their favorite team shirts and jerseys today! It’s awesome to see everyone united for Red Ribbon Week, working together to make healthy choices and support one another! #SpringdaleFamily

It’s Red Ribbon Week! This week we’re celebrating healthy choices and positive lifestyles. Each day brings a new way for students to show their commitment to staying drug-free. We can’t wait to see everyone’s participation and school spirit! Let’s make this a fun and meaningful week together!

We’re celebrating Mrs. Laura Hobbs this week! 🍎 As a first grade teacher, she leads with kindness, calm, and so much heart. 💕 Mrs. Hobbs truly serves her students with love and patience each day, creating a classroom where everyone feels cared for and valued. She’s a wonderful role model for both students and fellow teachers, and we’re so thankful for the positivity she brings to Westwood! 🌈📚✨

Let’s give a big shoutout to Mrs. Nicole Avitts! 🎉 It’s her first year at Westwood, and she’s already shining bright! ✨ Mrs. Avitts brings so much positivity, dedication, and heart to her students every single day. She’s built wonderful connections with her class and teammates, always leading with patience, understanding, and a smile. 💕 We’re so happy she’s part of our Westwood family! 📚🌈🙌

We’ve been busy with fitness testing the last few weeks push-ups, sit-ups, and the mile run! Our students showed incredible effort and determination! The kids holding the 80 crushed it with 80 sit-ups—the max score! Those holding up numbers with their fingers placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in their class mile run! Way to go, Wolves! #SpringdaleFamily

Even though it was a short week, we had a wonderful one! The students stayed engaged, curious, and full of positive energy, and we’re so proud of all they accomplished in just a few days.
