They planted some seeds in flowerpots decorated,picked up litter around the playground, and did a nature scavenger hunt where they found something of each color outside (since they are also working on color words in OG!)

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. 💙
Happy Friday! Our interventions team is our next group for the staff spotlight!
