Dear Families,
Happy December! The first half of the school year will soon be behind us. I can’t believe how fast it’s gone! We have had an unbelievable start to the year: Fun Run, Trunk or Treat, Fall Bazaar, music concerts, field trips, guest speakers, and so much more.
The Advocacy theme for December is ‘The Greater Good’. During the short time we have this month, students will identify ways to contribute and take action to support to the greater good. We will reflect upon the skills we have learned in Advocacy up to this point to determine how we can use those skills and where we can make a positive impact on our community. I invite you to talk to your kids about the ways they see themselves having a positive impact on the world.
Conferences will be December 14 and 15. You should have received the sign-up from your child’s Advocate on December 1. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with teachers to understand more about your child’s learning and growth. We hope everyone will take advantage of in-person or virtual conferences.
As we head into Winter Break, I would like to wish our families the happiest of holiday seasons. May the break be restful and restorative for your entire family. As we welcome in 2024, I look forward to more of the magic of Westgate. Our school truly is a gift.
In gratitude,
Sharon Collins
