Hello, Westview families,

The Weekly is coming to you short and sweet today. There has been excitement in the air all week in the 1830 building. Today Camp For All 2U was on campus! During some Q&A earlier this week with our Middle School students, we wanted to know, "What do you love the most about The Westview School," and suffice it to say, our veteran Camp For All-ers definitely had camp on the brain.

"My favorite thing about The Westview School is how we get to go to camp," said Avery, Middle School.

"What I love most about The Westview School are the big events, like CAMP," cheered Finley, Middle School.

"I love the teachers, the classrooms, and all the fun things you get to do. I'm so excited about CAMP for ALL!" said Noah, Middle School. 

We are so excited to share an inside look at all the on-campus fun today. Thank you to Camp For All for making this accessible to our students. Our students are having a blast, and we are looking forward to more of the same on day two tomorrow. 

Enjoy,

Westview Blog: The Kids Are Alright
As we continue to recognize World Autism Month and strive to increase awareness, understanding, and acceptance of people with autism spectrum disorder, we are excited to present our latest blog post, The Kids Are Alright: Words of Wisdom from Special Needs Siblings. We interviewed several staffers on their experiences growing up as a special needs sibling, how it shaped them as adults, and advice on the positive impact having a sibling with specials needs has had on their life and career in special education. We hope that by sharing their stories of growing up with a special needs sibling, our families may see the positive influences a sibling with special needs can bring to your child’s life.
