Clara is currently taking advanced biology and advanced chemistry during her junior year. She is always well-prepared for class, contributes to the labs, and does extremely well. Clara always puts her best effort into her assignments and responds with the most well-thought out answers. She has a steady, comforting presence in class that helps keep the class more peaceful as well.

Darren is taking both advanced biology and chemistry this year. He is diligent about getting his assignments when a known absence is going to occur, asks really good questions during class, participates well in the lab, and is just a good student. He encourages other students who are confused without making them badly about needing help. He has asked questions in class that have led me and other students to do additional research on projects. His positive attitude and work ethic make the entire class a better experience.

On Tuesday March 5 th , the Westwood High School Band participated in the WSMA Menominee

River Conference Band Festival. The festival was held at the Norway High School Fine Arts Center,

with 14 bands from the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin participating. The band’s

performance was judged on its quality of performance and musicianship. 40 students from

Westwood performed and the ensemble was rated on a scale of 1 to 4, with 1 being the highest ratingand 4 the lowest. Below are Westwood’s scores:

• Judge 1 - 1

These students have shown great talent and a tremendous work ethic that is reflected in their superior musicianship. We congratulate all Westwood students who participated for this great achievement!!
