DECA State Competition Results
A group of West Springfield Marketing students competed
at the DECA State Leadership Conference this past weekend in Virginia
Beach. DECA competitors compete by
taking a 100-question comprehensive marketing and participating in a business
role-play with a judge or writing an 11-30 page business plan and presenting it
in front of a judge. There are typically
50-60 students or teams per competitive event, so earning a spot on the DECA
stage is a great achievement. Students
who are state finalists will have the opportunity to represent West Springfield
and Virginia DECA at Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia. Congratulations to Kareese Akinloba, Naana Owusu, Sofia Fasciolo, Connor Brooks, Jackson
Popeck, Thomas Ballou, Jack
Russell, Melinda Yeboah, Ruth
Alemayehu, Ford Phillips, Cassandra Chamblee, Thomas Teklu, Sade Cole, Kyle Mittauer, Amanda Hoyle, and Amanda Wenklar.
All-Virginia Band Audition Results
The West Springfield Band had
seven students that auditioned for the All-Virginia Band on February 24th. We had
four students that were selected to participate in the All-Virginia Band event
in Richmond on April 5-7. This is the highest honor a music student can achieve
in the Commonwealth. We congratulate Abbigale
Baker (tuba), Thomas
Heal (clarinet), Kate Herrema (flute), and Amanda
Welch (piccolo).
Volleyball
Congratulations to Sydney Trotto
who was named to the 1st Team ALL STATE, Class 6 in volleyball!

HOSA Competition Results
Congratulations to Reggie Payne competed at the HOSA – Future Health
Professionals district competition and won 1st place. He is heading to the state competition in Williamsburg this month to compete with students all over the state.
On
Tuesday, March 13, West Springfield HS will have a new website. We are
excited about the new look and features that are now available and we're sure
that you will find it easier to navigate.
If
you are not able to find the information you need on our home page, you can use
any of the following:
- Search Function, similar to the way you would look for
information on Google,
- Top Menu, which links to main topics
including About, Academics, Activities, Resources, and Contact
- Full Menu, in the upper left-hand corner of the
home page, which shows all the items under the main topics.
Our
new site offers several important advantages, including:
- Displaying on mobile devices, an important feature
because so many of you are coming to the site through cell phones,
- Enabling the easy sharing of content between school and
Fairfax County Public Schools (for example, emergency alerts about weather
closures etc. from the main site will be promptly displayed on the school
site),
- The ability to translate the site content into 75
different languages,
- Making navigation of sites easier for parents as
children progress through the FCPS schools because all sites will feature
similar menus, and
- Featuring accessibility to all users with disabilities
(508 compliant).
The
new site comes with a new web address: https://westspringfieldhs.fcps.edu
This link will go live during the day on March 13th. The old
web address: http://www2.fcps.edu/westspringfieldhs/
will automatically redirect you to the new site.
We
hope you’ll visit the website often and stay involved!

struggling with hunger. To date we have collected and distributed nearly 20,000
pounds of food. We currently help feed over 650 students at 9 area middle and
high schools. The first bag pick up at Irving Middle resulted in over 200 bags
being picked up which provided over 2,000 pounds of food for our students!
With your support, we can reach even more students in need.
Participation is as simple as filling a Food for Neighbors Red Bag once every
other month and putting it on your porch on our pick up days. We deliver the
bag to you, a desired food list, and pick-up date reminder texts. The next Red
Bag food pick up is on Saturday, March 3! Please register as a Red Bag Donor

CLASS
OF 2019 PARENTS!
The 2018 All Night Graduation Party (ANGP) Committee has working
together since Spring 2017 planning and fundraising for our Seniors’ party.
CLASS of 2019 ANGP Committee is forming now!
The position of Class of 2019 Jiffy Lube Live (JLL) Chair (summer
concert concessions) has been filled by an experienced parent, Tana Bailey who
has students in both 2018 & 2019 classes. Trainings required for
volunteering and fundraising through JLL will take place in April and May. We
are reaching out now to 2019 parents to build the Volunteer list. We had a fun
time last summer with many parents volunteering and getting to know each other
better through 20 concerts and earning $15,000 towards ANGP for 2018 SEN18RS. This
is the most important fundraiser for rising Senior parents to get
involved with to get a great start for your ANGP budget.
Please email us @ wshsangp@gmail.com to share
your interest in participating.
