This month, we’re sharing practical information to support you in making healthy choices that support physical health, mental well-being and creating healthy communities. Let's play Healthy Lifestyles Bingo!

🚨 GRINCH UPDATE! 💚

Well, well, well… looks like the Grinch finally had a change of heart! 😂

Yesterday, all of our stolen house crests were returned at lunch! After weeks of sneaking around, stealing crests, leaving clues, and keeping everyone guessing, the Grinch finally gave them back!

I think we can officially say that Whoville (aka West Hills) survived the Grinch's little takeover. 🤣

A huge thank you to everyone who played along, joined in on the fun, and helped make this little adventure so much bigger than just a Trunk or Treat.

And remember… Griffins stick together! 💚💛

Until next time… 😉

💚🎃 TRUNK OR TREAT PHOTO CALL! 🎃💚

Between the Grinch aka Ms. Josie and VP Ashley running around last night, we were SO busy having fun that we completely forgot to take pictures! 🤣💚📸 Apparently, we were too busy making memories to document them!

We need YOUR help! 👀 Did you snap photos of the trunks, the costumes, the kiddos, the Grinch aka Ms. Josie causing trouble, or all the fun happening tonight?

📸 DROP YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOS IN THE COMMENTS! ⬇️

Help us capture all the memories we were too busy making to photograph! 😂💚

🍬 OVER 250 POUNDS OF CANDY DONATED! 🍬

Let that sink in… OVER 250 POUNDS! 🤯💚 A HUGE thank-you to everyone who donated candy, decorated a trunk, volunteered, came out to celebrate, and helped make last night so special for our Griffins. This event wouldn't be possible without our amazing school community!

💚 A special thank-you to Principal Powell for the support and for helping make events like this possible for our students and families! We appreciate you!

And remember… the Grinch aka Ms. Josie may have caused a little chaos, but she couldn't steal our Halloween spirit! 💚😂🎃

Now let's see those pictures! 📸👇 We want to see all the fun we missed capturing!
