So much has happened in March that it’s hard to keep up!

Westminster Community Charter School has collaborated with Independent Health Foundation, Good for the Neighborhood for the past seven years. We are proud to continue this partnership offering free, community-based wellness programming that brings health-related training and tools to areas where access to health care is limited. Individuals and families are encouraged to manage and improve their health by attending quarterly health fair style events and workshops.

This quarterly event featured FREE health screenings, FREE fruit & veggie bags, a LIVE cooking demo, basket raffles and a visit from the Easter Bunny! These events are an easy way for our school community and surrounding neighbors to have one-stop access to health-related services.

An annual tradition at Westminster, Math Night – Explore the “PASTA-bilities” was also held this month and was combined with a spaghetti dinner sponsored by our Parent Advisory Committee. This year’s activities focused on games and activities that families could do at home to encourage more mathematical thinking. We had an estimation station where students had to guess how many pieces of candy were in a certain jar as well as game stations, including card and dice games which practiced basic math facts in fun and competitive ways. In addition, we had a station devoted to learning about pi where students were able to find their birth date in the number pi!
