    • Longmont High School Junior Trojan basketball program for grades 5, 6, 7, and 8.  The tryout dates will be October 21st and 22nd from 4:30-6:00 pm and will occur in the gyms at Longmont High School. We are hoping to have a great turnout of basketball players from Westview. Please contact coach Jeff Kloster by email at [email protected] if you have any questions.

    “The Wildcats played two hard-fought games against the Mead Bulldogs on Wednesday. Even though we lost both games our players showed great attitude and effort in both contests. The first game came down to the wire and some shots just did not go our way.  We will look to bounce back when we travel to play the Erie Tigers on Monday 10/23 at their place. Go Wildcats!”

    `Coach Martenson
    Sky takes on Royal in a Thursday afternoon Intramural Boys Basketball game.
    7th grade science student Citlaly Mijares uses her iPad for repeat photography.  Students take the same series of photos (north, south, east, west, a seasonal shot, and a selfie) each month, allowing them to document how our area changes over time and how they themselves change over time as well.
    7th grader Fernando Torres Chach adds a little panache to his game at Disc Golf Club on Tuesday. This drop-in club gives students the opportunity to learn the basics of disc golf including throwing, putting, and etiquette. The club meets most Tuesdays (weather permitting) from 3:30-4:30 pm on Westview’s own disc golf course.
    Ms. Neumann’s 8th Grade Treble Choir takes advantage of the acoustics in the Westview lobby to rehearse a beautiful rendition of “Where the Light Begins” by Susan Labarr in preparation for their upcoming concert on November 2nd.
    Concert-goers are in for a real treat!
    6th graders in Mr. Powley’s social studies class learn about the physical and human geography of the United States and Canada. Students are exploring topics such as climate, vegetation, landmarks, population, economic activity, and government.
    6th graders try out their solar ovens on Friday by cooking smores and tracking the rise in temperature every five minutes. Yum!
    8th graders in Ms. Ferrara’s and Mr. Martenson’s P.E. classes enjoy an invigorating game of Flag Football under a beautiful blue October sky.
    Westview’s Cross Country Team warms up before the last running practice of the season at McIntosh Lake on Thursday afternoon. The team will compete at the Northern Colorado State Middle School Championship meet on Saturday, October 21st. Good luck Wildcats! We’re so proud of you!
    8th grade scientists used their knowledge of Newton’s laws of motion and energy transfer to design rockets that will safely transport an egg.
