We are excited to announce the addition of a brand-new opportunity to our growing list of scholarships—the R.E. Dimond Engineering Futures Scholarship—which will be available for the 2025-2026 school year through the Westfield Education Foundation.

This scholarship was created to support the next generation of mechanical and electrical engineers. Funded by R.E. Dimond and Associates, a leading engineering firm, the scholarship aims to encourage and empower students who are passionate about designing the future through STEM.

We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to aspiring engineers and are grateful to R.E. Dimond for investing in the future of Westfield students.

As we wrap up the 2024–2025 school year, the Westfield Education Foundation is proud to celebrate the creativity and dedication of our educators who brought learning to life with the help of Teacher Grants awarded last fall.

From STEM activities and classroom libraries to flexible seating and hands-on art experiences, our teachers used these funds to enrich student learning in meaningful and engaging ways. These grants—made possible through generous community support—helped teachers explore new strategies, meet student needs, and spark curiosity across all grade levels.

We are incredibly grateful to our educators for their innovative ideas and to our supporters for making it all possible.
