As we enjoy time with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we also take a moment to reflect with gratitude for those who gave so much for us all. ❤️🤍💙
From all of us at Westover Elementary, we wish our families a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
#MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #WestoverBears
🎓🐻 The halls are quiet, the year is through,
But what a journey it’s been with all of you. 💙💛
From color runs and neon literacy nights,
To basketball games and excited fans' delight.
From Homecoming Week and Trunk or Treat,
To Christmas sing-alongs that couldn’t be beat. 🎄✨
We welcomed grandparents with love and cheer,
Made memories together throughout the year.
We watched little chickens hatch and grow,
And saw our students’ excitement glow. 🐣
We explored the past in Living History Museums,
Learned new lessons, chased big dreams, and cheered on our Big Bear teams. 📚🏀
There were laughs in the hallways, friendships grown,
Moments of courage and seeds that were sown.
Nearly undefeated seasons, school spirit so bright,
Westover Bears truly shined this year with pride and might. 🐻
To our students, staff, families, and friends—
Thank you for the memories from beginning to end.
No matter where summer adventure may lead you,
You’ll always be a part of the Westover family, through and through. ❤️
Have a safe, happy, and wonderful summer, Bears! ☀️
We can’t wait to see what next year takes us.

Congratulations to Not Fair, Bear! by for being crowned Westover’s Book Battle Winner!
Our students loved following the adventures of Bear and Squirrel, and the fun was made even better thanks to our very own Officer Vineyard, who brought the story to life as one of our special guest readers. 💙
From 16 amazing picture books down to one final winner, our Bears have spent the year building a love for reading, sharing opinions, and cheering on their favorite stories. Thank you to all of our staff, guest readers, and students who made Battle of the Books such a fun experience at Westover!
And remember… even when things seem “not fair,” books always bring us together. 📖✨
The school year may be ending, but the reading fun is just getting started! Mrs. Susan and the Westover Library are challenging ALL Bears to keep reading this summer with our Westover Summer Reading Program! 🐻❤️
📖 3 Book Challenge (Grades 6-8)
Designed especially for our older students! We challenge you to step outside your comfort zone and read THREE great chapter books this summer — maybe an award winner, a popular series, or a book genre you’ve never tried before. Discover new characters, new adventures, and maybe even a new favorite book!
⏱️ 600 Minute Challenge (Grades 3-5)
Read all summer long and track your reading minutes!
🏆 20 Book Challenge (Grades 1-2)
For our little readers ready to go all in this summer!
Whether you read at the pool, on vacation, before bedtime, or curled up on the couch, every page counts! Summer reading helps our students stay sharp, grow their imagination, and be ready to start the new school year strong.
✨ Parents — we would LOVE to see our Bears reading this summer! Share your reading pictures and adventures using our summer reading hashtag:
#WestoverReads
Reading logs will be sent home with report cards and shared online. We can’t wait to celebrate all of our summer readers in August!
