Westwood Serves at Doko Meadows – Saturday, November 16, 2013

Westwood Serves at Doko Meadows – Saturday, November 16, 2013

Faculty, staff, parents, and students from Westwood High School came out in honor of this year’s Wishes of Westwood theme – KEEPING IT LOCAL. 

“We wanted to honor the Town of Blythewood with a simple act of giving,” said Schiria Wilson, Westwood’s Work-based Learning Coordinator.  

Community is one of our Westwood Way Values and this is one way that we as a school could say to our community, the Town of Blythewood “Thank You” as we took on this beautification project.  

The sentiment among the students was that “it was work, but it was fun because we worked as a team”.  Westwood Truly Serves!
