Visitors on Campus: Westview Welcomes Teen Volunteers

Local area high schools often look for ways to give back to the community. Students from Episcopal High School, St. Agnes Academy, The Grace School, The Kinkaid School, The HUB came to campus this school year with a singular goal - to help Westview!

ST. AGNES ACADEMY

A group of over 20 students from St. Agnes Academy came to campus in January to volunteer an entire morning, touching up some murals around campus and planting seeds in our nature garden. They made quick work of a much-needed campus project, and we are so thankful for their help.

THE KINKAID SCHOOL

Students from The Kinkaid School manned a booth this October at POW's Trunk-or-Treat to help Westview students paint tiles to refresh the cement benches around Westview's campus. These benches were originally installed at the grand opening of the 1900 building in 1999.

In January, this same group of students, as part of the Kinkaid's Community Service Leadership Council, returned to campus to complete the beautification project. The benches were very much in need of a refresh, and Kinkaid volunteers have them looking great!

THE GRACE SCHOOL

Students from The Grace School helped our Middle School students get Largent Hall rocking for the Middle School Social in October. Socials give our Wildcats a typical middle school experience and a chance to interact with peers from nearby schools. We are so thankful to all the students from The Grace School who helped to make it such a fun Friday night for our students!

EPISCOPAL HIGH SCHOOL

Westview also hosted several Episcopal High School (EHS) students in January as part of a Senior Outreach Program. At EHS, all graduating students were assigned a location to volunteer and give back to their community for six days. We had eight seniors choose Westview. They were a delight to have around, and we are so thankful for the hard work and enthusiasm they brought to campus. Westview teachers, students, and staff loved having them help out this week.

THE HUB HOUSTON

At POW Trunk-or-Treat in the fall, Westview welcomed The HUBCaps from The HUB Houston to entertain our families. The HUB is a school that offers programs for neurodiverse teens and young adults, a part of the Special Schools Coalition, and a friend of Westview. The school band, The HUBCaps is made up of autistic teens and young adults who perform at local events. We were so excited to have them share their talents and bring the beat to our community event!
