On Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019, students and faculty at École Westridge participated in the annual DROP EVERYTHING AND READ (DEAR) challenge! Westridge students and staff read in their classrooms, in the hallways, the music room and even in the gymnasium! It was a fun event that celebrated how important reading is to the success and well-being of our students. Seeing adults set aside work and business for a few minutes of pleasure reading has sent a powerful message to students: reading is a priority! Let’s work together – parents, peers and teachers alike – to model to our students how important and fun reading can be!  WAY TO GO WESTRIDGE STAFF AND STUDENTS!!!
