Happy Sunday Westbrook! I am sitting here reflecting on our amazing Friday evening. It was absolutely incredible. I don't know where to begin. We had so many people from the community both participate and come to our festival. That is truly what it is about. Our trunks were the best in town, I have no doubt. We had sprinklers in our Pumpkin Patch! (Just so you know, I thought I had them turned off😂) There were also so many people there to help from beginning to end. Toward the end of the event, I walked to the front of the school to help clean up and almost everything was done. I could not believe it! All we hope is that all of you had a positive and memorable experience. Westbrook has an amazing community and is a great place to be! 

A HUGE thank you to the crew that worked tirelessly to make it happen! Traci Davis, Lauren Tameguia, Whitney Ignacio and Tahnee Hodge. I know there are many more of you who helped, but the list would go on forever! Together we were able to accomplish some pretty amazing things. 

Also, Marci Martinez, an IA at Westbrook, and her daughter provided the photo booth, which was super fun! And Mrs. Castle's husband wins the 'Saved the Day' award as he provided the light towers! When everyone pulls together and chips in, you can do just about anything. 


Skate Night: Guess what! We have a skate night this Wednesday! When I scheduled them last year, I had no idea it would fall on such a fun week. Lucky us!! It is this Wednesday, 10/25, from 6-8pm. We will see you there!

Halloween Parade: Then for our next big event, The Halloween Parade!! We are going to make this a very special event and cross the street into the Heritage Solaire neighborhood. They have been big supporters of our school and they don't have trick or treaters, so we are going to brighten their day with very cute kids in costumes. As parents, you can walk with the children or line our parking lot and sidewalks along the route! It is going to be awesome! 


Looking for Used Halloween Costumes: If you have used costumes you no longer need, we would love to take them off your hands. We will make these costumes available to families who would like to use them. Please bring them to the office. If you would like to use one, please let us know that too!

Art Class: Playful Minds is offering an art class after school at Westbrook. Go to their website to register:

www.playfulmindacademy.com 

We are trying to add additional after school enrichment opportunities. 



Dates to Remember: 
October 23- Make Up Picture Day
October 25- Skate Night 6-8pm
October 27- Halloween Parade 8-8:20am
October 30 and 31- NO SCHOOL (Professional Development Days for teachers.)

  Well, Hello March! I cannot believe March is upon us. The rest of the year is absolutely going to fly by. It is nuts! The kids have grown so much this year and made so many friends. It is going to be hard to part for summer, but I am not even going to think about that yet! There are too many things to do before we get there.  Read Across America Week: This is going to be a fun week. It is 'Read Across America Week' at Westbrook. We have dress up days and fun activities planned for the week. See the picture above for our dress up days. It is going to be a lot of fun!  Parenting Tips: One of the best things you can do for your child is to allow them to come up against a challenge and work through it. I know it may sound like I am repeating myself, but it is because we are seeing a trend in our students. Many of our students lack the coping skills to navigate through a tough situation. Of course, it is easier to avoid meltdowns and blow outs by preventing them for our ch...

Happy Sunday, Families! In true Westbrook style, we are finishing the year with a bang! Our First Responders Day was absolutely amazing and there were so many of our parents participating! What a gift! I don't think I will surprise anyone when I say I think it will be even bigger next year!  This image is funny because A) we are almost at the end of the school year and B) I will be on you about parking lot procedures next year, too!! 😂 Field Day: Field Day is this Wednesday! It is going to be so fun. This is not an event where parents can come watch, but you can definitely come help! There are a few spots left.  Sign up here: Field Day Volunteers.  Yearbooks: Our yearbook have arrived! There were not many orders but the good news is you can still order a yearbook. I will be sending an email on Tuesday with information about hoe to do that. If you did order one, your child will get their yearbook soon. We are dividing them up now. We have learned some lessons about shar...
