    8th grade Orchestra (above) and 8th grade Band (below) performed in their final middle school concert on Monday, May 6th. “The concert was outstanding! I have to say it was one of the best 8th grade concerts we have ever had,” said Mr. Spencer. A few highlights: Orchestra played “Closer to the Sky,” a piece commissioned especially for Westview by composer Morgan Denney. Band played “Westview Sketches,” another original piece commissioned just for Westview 13 years ago. The two groups also combined as a full Symphony Orchestra to play an enchanting rendition of the 4th movement of Brahms Symphony No. 1. Good stuff! Many of these talented Wildcats will pursue music in high school thanks to the solid musical foundation they received at Westview. Congratulations to our 8th grade musicians for all you have accomplished over the past three years!!

Congratulations to our new NJHS Wildcats!

    Improvaloosa was a smashing success! Improv actors played the gamut of games and then invited audience members to join in.  We even had former and future Westview students participate in the fun! Groups created skits that varied from “dates gone wrong,” “coffee shop romance and tragedy”, “a real-life Matrix”, and an “alien abduction support group.” Nice work Wildcats!

    ¡Espera lo mejor!
