Today, we celebrated a monumental milestone – Westwood School's 50th anniversary!
The school truly went above and beyond, celebrating alongside not only current students and staff, but also former teachers, community leaders, past administrators, and alumni.
Westwood’s current students took pride in decorating the halls, adding a special touch to this momentous day. It was a heartwarming celebration of five decades of learning, growth, and community! 🐾❤️
We are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with our annual DLI parade! We encourage all our students to dress up in heritage clothing or something that represents their culture.
We are looking forward to celebrate five decades of learning, growth and community.
Working Together, The Westwood Way! ♥️🐾🎉
