Our REACH Ambassadors and Mrs. Tighe’s second grade class helped restock the Wildcat Pantry, a special resource that supports our Westwood families.

A huge thank you to Cate Cody, a former Westwood student, for her generous donation! As part of a service project, Cate chose to give back to her former elementary school and make a difference in the lives of current Wildcats. 🐾
We are so proud of our students and grateful for Wildcats who continue to give back to their Westwood family!
