“The Westview Wildcats had a great dual against Erie Middle on February 12th. We had our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade student athletes demonstrate great competition and skill on the mat. We have a lot of wrestlers in their first year of wrestling that were able to show techniques that they had just learned within the last two weeks. I think they all showed great physical and mental toughness. The coaching staff couldn’t be more proud of how well the wrestlers performed. With this being the first wrestling dual of the season, I am sure our wrestlers will indeed improve and hopefully become placers in our District Tournament at the end of the season.” ~Coach Alex De Santiago
“This past Saturday we had the privilege of hosting the annual Wildcat Robotics Invitational. This was the final culminating tournament for many of our teams who have been working hard all year.

After the qualifiers came to a close, all 6 of our teams made the top 24 cut. Four of those teams advanced to the round of 16, and then two teams made it to the semi-final round of 4 alliances. After matching up against each other, Recipe for Disaster’s alliance took down Agalynchnis Callidryas’ to advance to the finals, where a double-Altona alliance awaited. 

After a hard-fought battle that came down to elevation points at the end of the match, Recipe for Disaster was able to claim the tournament champion’s trophy on their home court. Congratulations to 8th graders Corbin, Jayden, Zach, Jake, and Wesley. They advance to state finals and the US Open in Iowa after that. Special shoutout to team Centroid – Lucho, Alessia, Brendan, and Lily for taking home the Design award. Congratulations to all teams on their great performances this year.”

Students in 7th grade Science are collecting data from skull casts to learn about human evolution and our origins.
    6th graders are taking a tour of Latin America in Social Studies. Students are virtually visiting important cultural and geographic sites in the region and are preparing a travel log of their findings. They will then use this information to study connections between the past and present.
    Mr. Kath assists students in his Aeronautics STEM class in launching their newly constructed airplanes for the first time. Successes and failures will be analyzed to make adjustments and continue the design process.
    In celebration of “Kindness Month,” students in all grades are engaging in kindness-related activities during Wildcat Team Time. After watching a short video, students were asked to reflect on the question “How do you commit to kindness?” They wrote their thoughts on sticky notes that were then assembled by our counselors into a “kindness display.”

    Expect the best!
