What's Up, Westy Academy?
What a looooong week that felt like! We kicked off this past week with Halloween fun on Monday, and as always, our students showed up in some awesome costumes to enjoy all the fun. Monday was a perfect night, and it's always a pleasure to see our families taking part in school events, hanging out with each other, mingling, and simply enjoying our amazing community. Make sure to check the Facebook page to see all the cool costumes from this year's Trick or Treat Street.
Halloween gave way to November 1st, which hosted our school wide field trip to Denver Museum of Nature and Science. All grades participated in some really cool activities while the teachers joined some professional development, too. Preschoolers experienced the Planetarium, Primary students learned about habitats, Intermediate participated in some neat dissections of lungs and hearts, and Middle Schoolers completed some awesome art. It was a learning-packed day, no doubt! Although teachers and volunteers were exhausted, the students clearly had a great time! We cannot thank our parents and families enough for their support as chaperones, and taking your own time to help out our school. It means the world to us!
These next few weeks will fly by, before we are looking at Thanksgiving Break already!
Have a great weekend, Owls!
