Motivational Mondays is a weekly message given over the intercom by our Principal, Mrs.Ginger Cruze, and assistant principal Mr. Samuel Mcclain. The messages are aimed at promoting mental wellness and positivity. Each Monday, an encouraging message, quote, or interactive activity is shared to help students start their week with motivation and resilience. Since Mondays are traditionally seen as "the worst day of the week" we believe sharing a mindful message would motivate westport students.

We are dedicated to fostering meaningful conversations with the students by engaging directly with them!
