  Happy Sunday! Here are some scenes from this week's Westbrook Elf adventures. The elf is having so much fun!! This week, will be interesting as it is going to rain. Don't worry, the elf is ready, rain or shine! On Friday, we recognized our Rockin' Wolverines! This is a high honor as they demonstrate all of our Westbrook expectations daily. Rockin' Wolverines receive a very special shirt as their prize. Each year, we will recognize Rockin Wolverines twice a year. All students can work for this award, but any recognition our students receive is a big deal. We are proud of all of our Wolverines! Our craft fair on Thursday was incredible. Thank you to all of you who attended and thank you to all of our vendors. It was amazing to see the talent within our community on display.  And the neighborhood Santa passing by Westbrook was so perfect. There were so many of us there together to experience the children's excitement. It was a great night! This is something I would l...

  Hello Families! We are officially in December. I have no idea where November went! These few weeks between Thanksgiving and Winter Break are a very busy and exciting time in schools. Classes do many fun activities and celebrations. Yes, these are super fun times but they can be tough for kids. What I mean is schedules and routines are changed and there are a lot of emotions for children to process. As a result, behavior tends to change a bit. We are used to this and are not concerned. I share this with you because you may be seeing different things at home, or hearing different things from school. It is simply part of this busy season and it is all good! It is the most wonderful time of the year, right??  Speaking of fun and busy, Friday in itself, was quite a day! The Elf made and appearance in the morning. Just so you know, the Elf will be out and about each morning in December. The kids can look for it on their way to class. We only have one rule- No Touching! And the Elf...
