If your student is participating in the band, strings, or chorus, they’ll need a Westbriar Music T-shirt for their upcoming concerts. Please place your order on MySchoolBucks by Wednesday, November 20.
We’re thrilled to announce that author Laura Murray will be visiting Westbriar to meet with our Kindergarten through 3rd-grade students on Friday, December 16! To celebrate her visit, we’ll feature a special “Author Event” table at our upcoming Book Fair with her books available for purchase. Additional copies will arrive next week to ensure every interested student can get a copy.
Although Laura won’t be signing books in person, she has provided pre-signed bookplates. Students in K-3 who bring their books on the day of her visit or in the days following can receive a book plate to place inside, making it a memorable keepsake.
For our upper-elementary students, we’re excited to announce that author John Auxier will be visiting in January! More details about his visit will be shared soon.
