Introducing the Class of 2038! 🎓 WES Preschool Graduation was a special celebration for our youngest Mustangs, who reached an exciting milestone. This year’s ceremony was extra meaningful, as we also recognized the retirement of beloved preschool teacher, Talea McGinnis. We thank her for the love, care, and dedication she has shown to her students over the years and wish her well in her next chapter!
Yesterday morning, Westfall Elementary celebrated a special milestone: Our 5th-grade students were officially promoted to middle school during a promotion ceremony. Students performed “Shine Like Stars” by Pinkzebra and listened to inspiring excerpts from Kobi Yamada’s “Chasing Dreams.”
Each student received a combination lock, generously provided by the Westfall CIA, to help them prepare for their new lockers this fall. As a touching surprise, several 5th graders presented our Encore teachers with memory books filled with photos and moments from their years at Westfall Elementary.
Congratulations to our newest middle schoolers—we are so proud of you!

Our students enjoyed learning about different career possibilities today during Career Day! We welcomed a wonderful group of professionals who shared their experiences and passion for their work. Among our guests were Antarctic researchers who spoke about conducting science in extreme conditions, an artist and animator who brought creativity to life, dedicated first responders who keep our communities safe, and even a bee farmer who gave students a fascinating look into the world of beekeeping and environmental stewardship.
Thanks to our incredible community presenters for taking the time to demonstrate their professions and engage with our students. A special shout-out to our amazing Guidance Counselors, Mrs. Cantor, and Ms. Ware, for organizing such a meaningful and impactful event. Career Day was a huge success and opened our students’ eyes to the many exciting paths their futures may hold!

Our 5th graders recently visited the middle school for a quick building tour, checking out classrooms, lockers, and learning cafeteria procedures. The tour, led by Guidance Counselor Mr. Pavey, is designed to make the transition easier for our incoming 6th graders this fall.

Mrs. Wippel’s second-grade students have had an exciting and productive semester filled with reading, writing, and creative thinking. They’ve explored traditional literature, chapter books, and poetry while learning strategies to better understand and enjoy what they read. In writing, students practiced expressing their opinions through opinion pieces and experimented with poetic techniques to create their own poems.
Today, they held a classroom celebration where families and visitors had the opportunity to witness everything their students had learned. The creativity on display was a true reflection of all their hard work! Great job, Mustangs!
Mrs. Woods’ second-grade students worked hard researching and illustrating their animal research projects. Today, they invited staff and family members to their classroom for a gallery walk to proudly share what they learned. We think they did a great job!

Congratulations to these young authors—you’ve created something truly special!
