Last weekend, a group of 42 eighth graders along with five chaperones toured the Washington, D.C. area. Four of our Wildcats earned an opportunity, through writing an essay, to present a wreath with Westview's name on the ribbon at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with the Honor Guard.
In just three days, our Wildcats learned a lot, and made countless memories, and represented our Maercker District 60 community well while in our nation's capital.

Over the weekend, Maddie and Elise competed at the cross country state meet and did a great job representing Westview. Elise ran 13 minutes and 59 seconds, and while it was a race mostly of 7th and 8th graders, she held her own as a 6th grader. Maddie persevered throughout the race to finish in 5th place out of 221 runners and earn an all state medal. In addition, Maddie broke the school record of 11:46 set by Grace McCabe in 2013 with a new time of 11 minutes, 42.98 seconds!
Congratulations Maddie for making history at Westview! #d60learns #d60runs
