Career Day is coming to Westfall Elementary on Friday, May 17! This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn and explore different careers in the community; some will even have vehicles or equipment that they utilize in their everyday work!
Congratulations to Wesley Sharrett, our Atomic Credit Union Student-Run Credit Union Piggy Bank Winner! Many students also made deposits on Friday and won an Atomic Bomb fidget toy!
Our first graders have been learning about chickens. Three weeks ago, they started incubating eggs, and now the chicks are starting to hatch! Students were able to see and hold the chicks and watch as the eggs continued to hatch. How exciting!

There are still a few left! If you forgot to order a yearbook, a limited number of extras are available for purchase. They are $25 and can be purchased with cash (exact amount, please; no change is available) or a check written to Westfall Elementary School. We will sell them on a first-come, first-served basis until they are gone!

Congratulations to our Atomic Credit Union member, Charley Reiser! Charley is the winner of today's Squishmallow drawing! Stay tuned for more upcoming incentives with our Student-Run Credit Union with Atomic Credit Union!
In February, Mrs. Stonerock's kindergarten class celebrated its 100th day by writing letters to 100 schools in all 50 states! Since then, they have been receiving responses from all over America. They have received letters from an island in Florida, a letter written in Braille, a letter from a Native American reservation, rooms with four kindergarteners, and rooms with 30-plus students. It's been a great learning experience for both the senders and the recipients!
Field Day is May 21 with inflatables, games, a dunk tank, and snow cones—it'll be a blast! Students (PK-5) must have a signed permission slip to participate. We are also looking for volunteers to help run the stations! Permission slips and volunteer forms will be sent home soon.
A vending machine... for books! Check out this awesome new addition to Westfall Elementary School! We are so grateful for the staff and community members who made this happen. We have a good feeling that "Inchy's Bookworm Vending Machine" gets lots of use from our students.
Atomic Credit Union has a fun Friday incentive for you! Make a deposit tomorrow and be entered into a drawing to win a Squishmallow!
