In a recent school board meeting, excitement was palpable as Westfield Elementary's cafeteria workers, Kelly and Deb, were announced as finalists in the \"Battle of the Lunch Ladies\" competition. They will represent their school with their signature doughnuts, competing against teams from Cannon McMillan, Dunbar Elementary, and Shaler Area Middle School. Community members are encouraged to tune in to Star 100.7 on the Bubba Show from 8 to 9 AM to support them.

The meeting also highlighted the success of the boys' soccer team, which has made it to the playoffs. They are set to play against Norway on Tuesday, October 22, at 6:30 PM, with board members urging community support for the team.

Additionally, board members shared insights from the recent Pennsylvania School Board Association annual conference, where they gained valuable knowledge to bring back to the district. Notably, Mrs. Kozera and Mrs. Mathers received commendations for their presentations at the conference.

The student representatives reported on various upcoming events, including Homecoming 2024, which took place on October 4-5, and the third annual Instant Decision Day on October 21, allowing seniors to receive on-the-spot college admissions offers. The Trunk or Treat event is scheduled for the same day, promoting community engagement and supporting local charities.

The meeting concluded with discussions on standardized testing dates, including the PSAT and SAT, and a reminder of the upcoming varsity football senior night. The board approved the minutes from previous meetings and moved on to a presentation regarding the progress of Westview Elementary.
