They were part of a group called the “Super Stars,” where they had the opportunity to help walk and show an animal at the fair. What a fun experience!
We’re so proud of our Super Stars! 💜💛🐝

September is here, and what better way to kick off the month than with a good book? 📚💜
Today is National Read a Book Day; we’re excited to share our September Book of the Month selections! Each month, we’ll feature books for both students and adults, and we’d love for our Westville community to read along with us!
📖 Student Books
Orange Pear Apple Bear by Emily Gravett
Recommended for our youngest readers — Pre-K through 2nd grade. A clever, minimalist picture book that uses just four main words—orange, pear, apple, and bear—to tell a silly, visual story through changing word order, punctuation, and watercolor illustrations
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
Recommended for students in 3rd–7th grade. An unforgettable story about friendship, nature, survival, and finding where you belong. It’s also a wonderful choice for families to read together and discuss!
📕 Adult Book
The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart
A heartwarming and adventurous story about family, friendship, healing, and finding your way home: it’s a thoughtful read with plenty of heart and a great choice for our Westville staff and community.
We’d love for you to read these books along with us! If you’ve already read one of our September selections, tell us what you thought in the comments. 📚
Our goal is to encourage a love of reading—not just at school, but throughout our entire Westville community!
Have a suggestion for a future Book of the Month? Let us know in the comments!


It’s a busy week for our Yellowjackets! 🐝💜 Check out the schedule, support our students, and show your Yellowjacket Pride! 💜💛

Mrs. Yeager’s 8th grade science students have been learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion through hands-on experiments and plenty of investigation!
Before diving into Newton’s Laws, students explored “Phenomena Stations,” observing different phenomena and recording their observations and ideas about what was happening from a scientific perspective.
Now, they’re putting Newton’s Laws into action! 💥
Newton’s 1st Law: Washers helped demonstrate inertia.
Newton’s 2nd Law: Cans of vegetables helped students investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
Newton’s 3rd Law: Balloon rockets took off down the middle school hallway!
Who says learning physics has to stay in a textbook? Our Yellowjackets are seeing science in action! 💜💛
