❤️💙💚💛 WESTWOOD MIDDLE… NOW THAT'S HOW YOU BUILD A SCHOOL FAMILY! 🎉🏠
WOW. JUST WOW! 🤩
Today was one for the HISTORY BOOKS at Westwood Middle School !
From the incredible costumes and colorful decorations to the red carpet, spinning wheel, and cheers that could be heard throughout the building… Westwood went ALL IN for their HOUSE SORTING CELEBRATION! 🎉
One by one, students stepped up to spin the wheel and discover their new HOUSE! And the BEST part? Watching teachers and students erupt in cheers as each student found their place in their new school family! ❤️
Following their experience at the Ron Clark Academy, Westwood's educators have embraced what they learned and are bringing those strategies to LIFE! And today was a beautiful example of what happens when educators go above and beyond to create a school culture where every student feels celebrated, connected, and valued.
Because this wasn't just about choosing a house color. It was about BELONGING. 💛
A HUGE thank you to our incredible partners at Huntington Bank , the West Virginia Department of Education, and the Ron Clark Academy for helping make opportunities like this possible! Special thanks to Huntington Bank for bringing their ice cream truck and adding an extra scoop of JOY to an already amazing day! 🍦
And to the teachers, staff, and leadership at Westwood Middle School… TAKE A BOW! 👏 Your creativity, enthusiasm, and commitment to building a positive school culture were on full display today!
