    Westview’s Jazz Band performs a gig at Planet Bluegrass on Monday, December 18th. “The students had already performed the same set the week before but were excited to play in a venue other than the school gym. It is a really positive experience for middle school students to get to play in a performance venue because it gives them the opportunity to feel like they are gigging professionally. It is a more accurate representation of what most professional jazz performances are like. It was also a great learning experience, as they got to hear more advanced jazz performances to learn from too.” ~ Ms. Borja
    A great time was had by all at the annual 8th grade boys vs. staff basketball game on Thursday, December 21st- a long-standing Westview tradition on the day before Winter Break.
    7th grade Algebra students create “stained glass windows” by graphing different linear equations. The activity presented an opportunity for students to explore the beauty found in the harmony, patterns, and structures of numbers and mathematics.
