Congratulations to Coloma Elementary's Students of the Month! #Pioneers
The CHAMPS group hosted shopping at Santa’s Secret Shop this past week at Coloma Elementary. Items were low and cost for students to have the opportunity to bring in some money to buy gifts for their families. Our 5th grade student council members were great helpers with shopping and wrapping!

A Tradition of Generosity: Bowls for Hunger
For over 25 years, the Bowls for Hunger event has been a cherished tradition in the School District of Westfield, exemplifying the community's spirit of generosity and commitment to service. What began as a modest service project by the Westfield Area High School Art Club in 1997 has blossomed into a collaborative effort uniting students, staff, local businesses, and community members to help the growing number of individuals and families struggling with poverty and hunger.
Initially, the project aimed to raise awareness and support of Marquette County's "Care and Share" food pantry by providing monetary aid and food donations. Today, it has expanded to include support for food banks in Waushara and Adams counties, reflecting the increasing reach and impact of this initiative.
The event continues to grow. In addition to handmade ceramic bowls, the event now features delicious soups prepared by our Foods program students, along with contributions from nine local dining establishments. These restaurants not only donated soups but also sent servers from their businesses to help during the event, reinforcing the shared sense of purpose that defines Bowls for Hunger.
The 2024 event achieved remarkable success, raising $9,670 through ticket sales, donations, and a raffle—a significant increase from last year’s $7,294. Attendees also contributed 437 non-perishable food items. Over the past decade, the event has raised an impressive $143,875 for local food banks, demonstrating its long-term impact.
The event's growth is a testament to the dedication of students, staff, and community members. Clubs such as the Art Club, MS and HS Student Council, National Honor Society, FFA, FCCLA, and WAMS Student Council have played vital roles in its success. From crafting ceramic bowls to organizing the event, it is estimated that over 1,325 students and 120 faculty, staff, and administrators have participated in making Bowls for Hunger a highlight and point of pride for the Pioneers. Since its inception, more than 16,000 handmade bowls have been distributed.
Bowls for Hunger is more than an event; it’s a tradition that reflects the heart of the greater community. It not only supports those in need but also teaches the values of compassion, service, and collaboration.
Thank you to all who contributed to this year's success and to everyone who has supported Bowls for Hunger over the years. Together, we continue to make a lasting impact, one bowl—and one meal—at a time.

Dear Families and Staff,
We want to inform you about an ongoing internet outage impacting the School District of Westfield. On Friday, between 11:30 AM and 12:15 PM, our internet service provider, AT&T, reported a failure with the internet circuit that services our district.
Since the outage occurred, we have been in constant contact with the Network Operations Center managing our circuit. The issue has been escalated to the highest level, and AT&T will be dispatching a technician to repair or replace the faulty equipment. We have been assured they are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Impact on Communication:
This outage may create challenges for incoming phone calls at the elementary school level. If elementary parents experience difficulty connecting via the elementary phone lines, please use the following alternative numbers to reach us:
