Westwood is eagerly awaiting a whole new group of FHS role models. After a rigorous six weeks of training to be a PAL (Peer Assistance and Leadership), each of our 24 seniors will be paired up with a Westwood student to practice what they've learned and model life skills for that little learner. It is so rewarding to watch these relationships bloom as the mentor connects with the mentee over discussions, board games, creative art activities, friendly athletic games, or a simple storytime. Weekly visits start Tuesday, October 6 and continue through mid-May. We are so grateful to welcome these Hometown Heroes to the Westwood family and we thank their sponsor, Melissa Victorick, for her diligence in preparing them to help our students soar to success.
