Celebrations
It was so exciting to watch our Explorer Athletics program kicked off this week with volleyball and flag football clinics in the gym and on the field. We are all looking forward to the launch of the season and our first games September 27th. #ExplorerAthletics
Our 8th grade students built campaigns to convince colonist to move their colony. They then presented their Colony campaigns to our 5th grade explorers. What an awesome example of #JoyfulLearning!
Ms. Brunnmeier’s 5th grade students were excited to go on their first Field Lesson of the 2018-19 school year. Explorers visited the William B Pond at the Effie Yeaw Nature preserve to investigate how much energy travels through an ecosystem.

Kudos: Most Explorer families have been assisted in the drop off line, pickup line or at a crosswalk by Kal Patel. He has not only been helping to keep our students safe over the past three years but he has worked with administration to improve procedures to make our system safer and more efficient. Thank you, Kal, for your all you have done for Westlake families!
Logging Volunteer Hours: Our new website will be launching very soon. Simply keep track of all volunteer hours since the end of the 17/18 school year and log them all at once when the new site launches in this month!
