 Thank you Ms. Marrefi for all your work at Stone getting us to GREEN!
Hello Stone Community,
Congratulations to all of our students who participated in this weekend's spring production "The Phantom Tollbooth". It was a wonderful display of student talent on stage.
This week will be another fun filled week as we enter the month of May.

Let's have a great week Panthers!
-Sonya Williams
Principal
Eighth grade students that have English on even days will be taking the IRW on Monday, April 29th in their English classes. Students have been preparing by using VDOE resources on this new assessment in English classes. Please help them be successful by assisting them in getting to school on time, eating a nutritious breakfast, and with an attitude to show their hard earned skills.
 Westfield High School Theatre Presents Freaky Friday, A New Musical
May 2, 3, 4 at 7pm and May 4 at 2pm (Mother--Daughter Matinee)
Musical is appropriate for all ages.
When an overworked mother and her teenage daughter magically swap bodies, they have just one day to put things right again. Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the hit Disney films, is a heartfelt, comedic, and unexpectedly emotional update on an American classic. By spending a day in each other's shoes, Katherine and Ellie come to appreciate one another's struggles, learn self-acceptance, and realize the immeasurable love and mutual respect that bond a mother and daughter.
Our matinee performance will feature various mother-daughter themed events including a dress like your mother, dress like your daughter fashion show, pre-show & intermission shout-outs to your mom or daughter, and a photo booth!
All info found at www.westfieldtheatre.com
