Earth Week is April 27th – May 1st at Westgate! 

This year’s theme is “Treat Every Day Like It’s Earth Day.” As a school, we’re going back to the basics—focusing on small, meaningful habits that students can continue through the end of the school year and beyond. 

While Earth Day is celebrated worldwide on April 22nd, Westgate celebrates after testing season. This year’s theme reflects an important idea: caring for our planet shouldn’t happen just once a year; it’s something we can practice every day. Instead of focusing on a single week of celebration, we’re building habits that last all year long. 

Each day of Earth Week will have a special theme, along with a short lesson during Advocacy designed by our Environmental Education Coordinator: 

• Monday, April 27th: Mindful Monday – Notice Our Planet  

• Tuesday, April 28th: Turn-It-Off Tuesday – Save Energy  

• Wednesday, April 29th: Waste-Less Wednesday  

• Thursday, April 30th: Thoughtful Thursday – Care for Living Things  

• Friday, May 1st: Future Friday – Our Earth Promises  

Students will also participate in outdoor, hands-on environmental learning stations. Teachers within each pod will lead different activity stations, such as recycling and trash sorting, a water conservation challenge, packaging redesign, Earth Day trivia, and more. 

Please help your student come prepared with comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a full water bottle. 

We’re also excited to launch a new Quarter 4 program: Nourish in Nature. During this time, one class at a time will enjoy lunch outdoors in our school’s amphitheater. This program is designed to promote time outside, strengthen social connections, and deepen students’ connection to nature, all while supporting our school’s mission and vision. 

Please note that we will not be hosting a clothing swap this year. Participation in previous years was limited, and we want to ensure families are connected to the most helpful resources. If your family is in need of clothing support, we encourage you to reach out to our school counselors, who are happy to assist.

Buddy Program
5th/6th Grade Advocacy classes are partnering with 1st/2nd grade this year for an exciting buddy program! This is part of the 5th and 6th grade service-learning program, where our older students will serve as mentors to our younger students. It’s going to be more than just book buddies — each week may look a little different. Some days students might read together, other days they might create crafts like bracelets, or even play games.

The buddy program will take place weekly on Mondays for roughly 20 minutes during Quarter 3, beginning after Winter Break. Students are partnered based on their interests and personalities, with the hope of fostering meaningful and positive connections. Our older buddies have spent the first two quarters training and preparing to help inspire confidence, build friendships, and work on individualized goals together.

We’re looking forward to this program! If you have any questions or concerns, our Service-Learning Coordinator, Charlie Kahn, is happy to help at [email protected].
