📦 THIS is what PTA support looks like!

It may not look pretty stuffed into the back of a car, but this is support. 💚

This is our SECOND delivery of classroom supplies purchased through our Teacher/Classroom Support Campaign! Every one of these boxes represents something a Westwood teacher requested to help support their classroom and their students.

And we’re not done yet! 🙌

A huge THANK YOU to our PTA members and supporters. Your memberships, donations, and participation are what allow us to put resources directly into our teachers’ hands.

🌪️ This is PTA. This is community. This is Whirlwind support. 💚🤍

💚 **Planning to volunteer at Westwood this year?** 🌪️

Just a quick reminder that **volunteer applications need to be completed each new school year** through Alachua County Public Schools.

Even if you were an approved volunteer last year, you’ll need to submit a new application for the 2026–2027 school year.

It’s a good idea to get it done now so you’re ready when volunteer opportunities come up throughout the year!

👉 Volunteer information & application:

Thank you for helping support our Westwood students, teachers and staff! 💚🤍

All the hours, late nights, and burned fingertips from hot glue guns were absolutely worth it! 🎬✨

The Westwood Middle School Class of 2026 went out in style at A Night in the Spotlight! The energy was incredible, the dance floor was packed, and the memories made will last a lifetime.

A huge THANK YOU to all of our volunteers, families, and community sponsors. This event would not have been possible without your generosity and support.

Special thanks to Studio32 Orthodontics for sponsoring our photo booth, it was a huge hit with the students! Thank you to Angel Cakes for the most beautiful (and delicious!) cupcakes. And a big shoutout to our very own Mrs. Brown for creating the stunning balloon display that helped transform the venue.

To every parent who purchased items, donated gift cards, contributed financially, volunteered their time, or helped pick up supplies, we appreciate you more than you know!

And of course, thank you to DJ E-LO for keeping the kids on the dance floor all night long!

The Class of 2026 deserved a night to remember, and thanks to this amazing community, that’s exactly what they got. 🎥⭐🏆
