Lower School Adventures
Last week, our second through fourth graders explored the New Jersey Pinelands together as they paddled canoes, discovered the local forest, and learned from the world around them.
Bettin' on Betty
Westfield buddies walked together to celebrate former student and cancer survivor, Betty, while raising money for CHOP oncology. At Westfield, service to others isn't just an event—it is a core value woven into how we teach empathy and active citizenship. Seeing older and younger buddies walk hand-in-hand for a cause so close to our hearts reinforces that no act of kindness is too small to make a meaningful impact.
