WES students are invited to bring their Veterans to our Veterans Day breakfast sponsored by Westfall Elementary Student Council! The Musical Mustangs will perform, and we will recognize our Veterans. There will also be donuts and coffee to enjoy! RSVP forms are being sent home this week.
We will be showing a video with all the names of our Veterans. If you would like your Veteran(s) to be listed, please fill out their name(s) on the form and send it in. If you wish to include a picture of your Veteran, you can send in a picture with the form. Please include the student's name with whom we should send it back home on the back of the photo. You can also email pictures to Miss Wynkoop at katie.wynkoop@westfallschools.com.

Westfall Elementary's Field of Dreams Committee is hosting "Christmas in October," a silent auction for theme-decorated Christmas trees in memory of beloved colleague Cindy McCoy. The WES staff will decorate trees and be available at a silent auction. This year, our trees are in memory of beloved Westfall colleague Cindy McCoy. Cindy is a former 2nd-grade teacher who taught for over 25 years at Westfall Elementary. Shortly after retiring in 2011, she was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Cindy fought a courageous battle with this brutal disease for years before passing away in November 2021. A portion of the proceeds from this fundraiser will be donated to The ALS Association in her memory.
How will the auction work?
Pictures of the decorated trees will be posted on the WES Facebook page by Wednesday, October 23, or sooner. Bidding can begin there but will continue in person during Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 30. You do not have to be present to win but to ensure a win, you will want to be present when the auction ends at 7:00 PM. Payment will be due when you pick up the tree. (cash or checks written to WEF-FOD) If you win the bid on Facebook, someone will contact you within a day or two of the auction to arrange pickup of your tree.
Thank you for supporting Field of Dreams and helping us honor Cindy's love for the Westfall community and school!
Yesterday was a "pawsitively" amazing day at Westfall Elementary School! Randy, a therapy dog from the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office, along with handler Chase Bergoon, brought smiles to students as he visited the classrooms. Randy, like many specially trained therapy dogs, offers emotional support and companionship to those facing trauma, stress, or grief, helping to reduce anxiety and enhance well-being. Thank you, Randy and Chase, for making such a wonderful impact!
