Sunday, March 31


Welcome Back from Spring Break, Westbrook!! This last part of the year is always jam packed with activities and events in addition to state testing and more learning! It sure flies by and is so much fun! The first big event will be here before you know it and that is our Move a Thon! This is our big fundraiser for the year! Our goal is to bring in a lot of money to support our teachers and purchase some things our school is lacking. For example, we have wonderful outdoor space, but we have zero garbage cans. We would love to purchase some permanent garbage cans to add to campus. We would also love to give our teachers a small stipend to cover some of the things they have purchased on their own. Please help us make this event a huge success!! 

The first thing you can do is send the 99 pledges email to everyone you know!! The more people you send it to, the higher the potential to get donations. 


Move-A-Thon: It is coming... the 1st Annual Westbrook Move-A-Thon and it is going to be incredible!! At Westbrook, we don't know how to do things any other way. Of course, we need your help to make this as big as we dream.

  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...
