Week of 11.11.19

Westlake Parents and Guardians:

This past week we were fortunate to hold our 7th and 8th grade Choir Concert and what an amazing performance we had!  Our students, 7th and 8th grade, dressed up and sang beautifully.  It truly was a rewarding experience for us watching students exemplify professionalism. Students took to the microphone to introduce their family and friends to the happenings of the concert.  I’m not even sure I heard a quiver in their voice, they were so proud and honored to be selected to address their audience.  The diverse choice in songs which varied from French-Canadian to African Spirituals was an uplifting cultural experience as well.  Come join us this week for the 7th and 8th grade Band Concert on November 14th for more amazing performances by our talented Westlake Middle School students.

PTO Spring 2019 Fundraiser Update

Thank you so much to our PTO and school community for making our 2019 Spring Fundraiser so successful.  The money we received was earmarked to go toward technology.  We were very fortunate to be able to order special microphone sets for each classroom that work with our classroom sound systems.  These special microphones are encased in a ball allowing the teacher and students to toss the microphone back and forth during class discussions or to answer questions.  The students and the teacher can hear each other much more clearly using this microphone which enhances, and makes possible,  learning for all in the classroom.  Check out the microphones HERE!  The microphones have been ordered and should arrive any day now!
