2. MUSIC FOR AUTISM

Westview welcomed Music for Autism back to campus for an in-person concert this past April The Apollo Chamber Players entertained with a lively, engaging performance that delighted our audience. What a great morning of music for our community. We are so thankful for this partnership with Music for Autism and to the artists who share their time and talent with our community.

3. SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Westview partnered with Special Olympics for our Lower School Field Day Westview Special Olympics Future Stars Field Day was a happy, active, and sweaty morning on the Wildcat Track Students had a blast running, racing, and crawling through Field Day stations, ending the morning on a refreshing note with popsicles and water play on the playground.

4. JUNIOR LEAGUE OF HOUSTON

Throughout the school year, our Upper School students participate in a pen pal program facilitated by the Junior League of Houston. This program allows our students to build relationships and practice letter writing with an authentic audience. Several times during the year, Junior League volunteers connect with their Westview pen pals face-to-face over lunch and crafts

5. BOY SCOUTS

Troop 609 at The Westview School has successfully created an inclusive scouting program that caters to the needs of children with autism. Since its establishment in 2010, the troop includes some current and former Westview students and holds their bi-monthly meetings on campus. They also actively volunteer at school events throughout the year.
