Dear Westwood View families…
Happy holidays and a BIG thank you to all Westwood View families! Thanks for celebrating this season of gratitude with your presence at the Veterans Day Assembly, giving to our annual Operation Breakthrough Adopt-A-Family, and providing generous gifts to our incredible school staff. There is still time to give to the Holiday Gift Fund for our teachers and staff who do so much for our kids and make Westwood View a great school.
