π October is National Principals Month π
From her own kindergarten classroom to leading them, Ms. Hoffmanβs journey has always been rooted in curiosity and a love of learning. π
This then-and-now look reminds us that every student walking through our doorsπͺhas endless possibilities ahead, and that learning, laughter, and growth never stop. π«
Weβre grateful for Ms. Hoffmanβs steady leadership and dedication to the Conrad Weiser West community. ππ€

Ms. Looseβs first grade class had so much fun learning all about pumpkins! We ended our unit investigating pumpkins, painting pumpkins, and having a pumpkin taste testing! #WeAreWeiser #learningisfuninA1 #firstgrade

π October is National Bullying Prevention Month! π
At Conrad Weiser West, weβre reminding our students (and ourselves) that kindness is powerful β it builds friendships, strengthens communities, and changes the world.
This month, our focus is simple: Be the reason someone feels seen, included, and valued.
Every act of kindness, no matter how small, matters.
Letβs fill our school (and our hearts) with kindness all month long. π«

Mrs. Cheliusβs, Mrs. Bowserβs, and Mrs. Whitmoyerβs classes went on a field trip to Old Dry Road Farm. They had a chance to do chores of long ago, like candle making, making butter, making toys, and making apple cider.
#WeAreWeiser
Our West staff members have been hard at work creating these decorated pumpkins! The one with most reactions between our PTO page and the West Elementary page will win! There are some delicious rewards at stake. Voting ends 10/28!
Feel free to share the one you like the most and encourage your friends and family to vote. Make sure they click the original picture and like it, not your post, in order for votes to count.

Mrs. Barata and Mrs. Schweigertβs 2nd grade class had a BLAST living the Colonial Life today at Old Dry Road Farm. We made fresh apple cider, dipped a string into hot wax to form a candle, churned butter and made toys from the 1700βs.

Dear West Families,
As a reminder, anyone picking up a student must have a valid photo ID with them every time. We require ID if you are not well-known to the staff at dismissal. Please note that the staff member supervising dismissal may not always know you personally, or there may be substitutes or staff changes. For everyoneβs safety, we will always err on the side of caution and verify identification when necessary.
I also want to be clear: our staff are following the rules to keep children safe. Disrespectful or aggressive behavior toward staff will not be tolerated and may result in a loss of pick-up privileges.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work together to keep all students safe during dismissal.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Warm regards,
Christy Hoffman
Principal, Conrad Weiser West Elementary

ππ Itβs Read Aloud to a Child Week!
October 19β25, 2025
This week, families everywhere are celebrating the joy of reading together β and we hope youβll join in! Reading aloud builds connection, empathy, and imagination. Itβs one of the simplest (and most powerful) ways to show children that stories β and their voices β matter.
This yearβs theme is Purposeful Acts of Kindness. Letβs be intentional about leading with compassion, empathy, and open hearts β one story at a time. β€οΈ
So grab a favorite book, find a cozy spot, and take a few minutes each day to read together. Your time and attention are the best gifts you can give.
π For fun tips and printables to make reading time even more special, visit www.readtothem.org/family-resources
