We are grateful for all the help and money that Westwood Elementary parents give to better our children's education. We have partnered with our teachers and staff to make Westwood Elementary one of the top public schools in the state. Education funding from the state continues to be low, so our school depends on community support to ensure that our students continue to thrive in a wonderful learning atmosphere.
