Friday night at the ballpark was one for the books! ⚾️❤️

From our amazing kids signing the National Anthem, to throwing out the first pitch, helping the players on the field, and soaking up all the fun at the game, Westfield Night with the Kernels was such a special evening!

So many smiles, unforgettable memories, and moments these kids will never forget. Thank you to everyone who helped make the night so special for our Westfield families! 🧡💙

Last week we had so much fun celebrating our amazing teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week! 🍎❤️ From yummy treats each day to small surprises throughout the week, it was such a joy to spoil the incredible teachers who do so much for our students, families, and community each and every day.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated, helped organize, dropped off goodies, or supported us in making the week so special! We truly couldn’t have done it without you. ✨

And if you didn’t get a chance to thank your favorite teacher yet, don’t worry, there are still a few weeks left in the school year to remind them just how appreciated they are! 📚✏️🍎

“Tag a teacher below and tell them a memory or why you are thankful for them! And then at the end of the week we will give a teacher a $50 gift card! Heck if we fill the comments with stories we might have to give out a few! Spread some love to those that have poured love into you!”

We need your help! Time to give a teacher some love!

I can say as a spouse that I know how hard teachers work. How they show up every day to not only share knowledge and skills, but smiles and love. We want to do something fun for Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to give a $50 gift card to a TEACHER!

That is where you come in! Tag a teacher below and tell them a memory or why you are thankful for them! And then at the end of the week we will give a teacher a $50 gift card! Heck if we fill the comments with stories we might have to give out a few! So tag away! Spread some love to those that have poured love into you!
