4C is making some serious music! 🎶
Mrs. Metzler has our 4th graders working hard as they learn to play the recorder. They are building new skills while having a blast! From the classic "Hot Cross Buns" to rocking out with "Eye of the Tiger", there’s never a dull moment in music class!

🌟 All-Star Spotlight: Mrs. Alissa McDonald 🌟
This week, we are proud to shine the spotlight on Mrs. McDonald, our incredible 2nd grade teacher! She truly embodies everything you could hope for in an educator—knowledgeable, engaging, creative, and just the right amount of commanding to keep her classroom thriving.
With years of experience, including her time as a former principal at Topeka Elementary, Mrs. McDonald brings a wealth of leadership and insight into her classroom each day. She has a special gift for meeting students right where they are and guiding each one forward with care and intention, making sure no child is ever left behind.
Her students absolutely adore her, and it’s easy to see why. She creates a classroom environment that is both fun and meaningful, where learning comes to life. And it’s not just the kids—our staff appreciates her just as much for her positivity, dedication, and team spirit!
Thank you, Mrs. McDonald, for the heart, passion, and excellence you bring to your classroom every single day. We are so lucky to have you! 💛
This past week, Westview proudly recognized Child Abuse Prevention Month. Throughout the week, our students learned the importance of spreading kindness, building healthy friendships, and supporting one another.
Students had the opportunity to take part in a special activity by searching for blue rocks (also known as “pocket hugs”) each one carrying an encouraging message to brighten someone’s day. It was a simple but powerful way to remind each other that kindness matters.
To wrap up the week, we wore blue to show our support and to stand together in the belief that every child deserves a safe, happy, and healthy life. 💙

Before spring break, our high school girls and boys basketball teams joined the 4th graders for their March Madness Book Tournament! It meant so much to our students to be able to spend time with these awesome athletes. We also want to give a special shout-out to our wonderful librarian, Mrs. Whittern, for making it all happen!
Congratulations to Aiden Miller for winning the signed basketball with the best bracket, and to Caroline Schlabach for earning runner-up. Great job to both! 🏀📚

Congrats to our quarter 3 award winners!
Last week was full of Warrior pride!❤️💛 Our students showed up in their best for Spirit Day to support our boys basketball team! We are so proud of the fight, heart, and determination they showed at the State Finals. It was a tough ending, but they never gave up. That’s what it means to be a Warrior!
Just a friendly reminder: there will be no school on Thursday, April 2, and Friday, April 3, for Westview School Corporation.
Our 1st graders stepped back in time to experience life in the Colonial days after wrapping up their New Nation unit! They explored the 13 colonies, the Boston Tea Party, our Founding Fathers, Betsy Ross’ first flag, and the Revolutionary War.
To bring their learning to life, students came dressed in colonial attire and took part in a day full of hands-on fun! They made butter, carried water, played with hoops and sticks, wrote with quill pens, practiced stitching, and so much more. Shout out to our 1st grade staff who always know how to make learning fun!

Our first graders had some very special visitors this week from the Fort Wayne Zoo! The kids learned all about habitats and animals, and even got to meet 3 very unique creatures that you won’t find on display at the zoo: a Madagascar hissing cockroach, a mossy frog, and a Knobtail gecko. Such a fun and memorable learning experience! 🦎🪲🐸 Thank you, Fort Wayne Zoo!
Congratulations to this year's Tri Kappa art contest winners!
