Honoring Veterans Day:
Westover will be honoring our veterans on Friday, November 8, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. in the New Gym. If you have a veteran in your family, we would like for them to attend.
Also, if you have photos of a veteran from your family and you would like us to display them, please send in ASAP.
Finally, we would like to provide our veterans with a bottled water and an individually wrapped snack cake after the program, so if you are able to donate, please drop them off in the front office or send them with your students.
Homecoming is next week! We are excited to celebrate Homecoming Under the Big Top as we put on the Greatest Show on the Basketball Court! There will be awards for class participation so it's definitely a good year to dress to impress! Let's make this a fun and exciting week for our Bears.
We are still having a few pumpkins trickle in so we wanted to extend our pumpkin contest to everyone one more time! Pumpkins MUST be turned in by Monday and voting will conclude next Friday, November 8th. Right now voting is close so send in your dollars and vote for your favorite!

Happy National Principals Month from the Henderson County School District! A big thank you to Mrs. Maynard and all the amazing Henderson County School Principals who work hard and inspire our students daily. Your impact is truly important, and your dedication to creating a positive school environment makes a difference in many lives. #ThankAPrincipal #NationalPrincipalsMonth
Mrs. Renee Maynard holds a BS in Elementary Education with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education and an MAED in Educational Leadership from Bethel University, bringing 31 years of experience to the field. Her journey began with volunteering in church activities and leading the children's choir and VBS. She has evolved through roles as a classroom teacher, academic coach, assistant principal, and, currently, principal. Students might be surprised to learn she was the first fast-pitch pitcher for Lexington Softball (pic in the comments). She believes that a good day at school is when there is evidence of learning and a spirit of camaraderie up and down the halls, along with Mrs. Carolyn bringing no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies or Mr. Roberto bringing his homemade salsa! Inspired by a quote from her father, she emphasizes the importance of kindness: "Some people will disagree with and even dislike you, but live your life so they will respect you," and advises new teachers to breathe, build relationships, and learn from their mistakes.
On Tuesday Westover hosted its first Literacy Night of the school year. We had local author Makenzie Van Nes come to share her book "Dodger and Ofi" with our students and talk to them about the process of writing a book. Farmer Frank and his dogs were even here too. We had touch a tractor, a craft table, snacks, and much more. It was a great night at Westover!
Pre-K Has been Rockin' the first 50 Days of School!
