Thank you to all parent volunteers and for the generous contributions that made our Teacher Appreciation Week so special. The teachers loved the luncheon, gift cards, school supplies table, coffee truck, egg rolls and fried rice, Crumbl cookies, and so much more. We appreciate all of the support you have given our teachers and staff throughout the school year.
If you didn't get a chance to visit the districtwide art show in person, please see the photo collage in this newsletter. We have some amazing artists! Thanks so much to Pam Perron for encouraging such phenomenal talent.
Please take care of medications, health care forms, and followups to vision and hearing screenings. See more information in the news from Nurse Connor.
Sincerely,

Many Day School artists were represented at the 2026 Districtwide art show at Westford Academy last Thursday.
Day School artists created a striking hanging wall display designed with symmetrical patterns, encouraging students to explore balance, repetition, and color relationships. When assembled together, the individual strips formed a cohesive and visually engaging instrallation that highlights both artistic skill and the beauty of working collaboratively.

Westford Academy Last Night
The Westford Academy Class of 2026 is just weeks away from graduation, and we're gearing up for one of our most cherished senior traditions: Last Night Celebration.
Last Night has been celebrated with the WA graduates for over 36 years and the Westford Academy Last Night Committee has been working hard to ensure this special tradition will continue. On the evening of June 5th, 2026, graduating seniors come together for a safe, substance-free overnight celebration filled with fun activities, entertainment, raffle prizes, and more — a memorable send-off to share with friends before the next chapter begins.
Before you know, your child will be enjoying Last Night festivities of their own!! Every year, it takes 300+ dedicated volunteers and the generous support of donors to make the night possible. To keep this tradition alive for the Class of 2026, we need:
Help to decorate/ set-up before the event and run activities during the event. We rely heavily on parents of underclassmen and younger grades for the event so that the parents of Seniors can enjoy graduation. For more information on time slots and how to sign up to volunteer, go to: https://walastnight.org/volunteer
Last Night is totally funded through generous donations of Westford Families and area businesses. Donations are used to fund the entertainment, prizes and memorable gifts for the Seniors. For more information on purchasing from our Raffle Wish List or making an online donation, go to http://walastnight.org/donate.
We appreciate your consideration in helping us with Last Night. Your support will make all the difference. Also, if you can, please spread the word. Thanks for your support!

WA Boosters
Are you a parent of a student-athlete looking to get more involved in Westford Academy athletics? Consider joining the Westford Academy Athletic Boosters!
Our 501c3 non-profit organization supports all Westford Academy sports through fundraising events like fall and spring canning with teams, trivia night, and the snack shack at Friday night football games. These efforts directly benefit our athletes and programs.
Westford Academy Athletic Boosters contributions help fund senior athlete scholarships and provide teams with equipment and resources that may fall outside their budgets. In recent years, we’ve helped purchase an ice machine in the Coughlin Building for all athletes, new timing equipment for the Swim & Dive team, pinnies for Field Hockey, and contributed to the Softball scoreboard.
Joining the Westford Academy Athletic Boosters is a great way to support Westford Academy athletics while connecting with other parents in the community. There’s a role for everyone—whether you volunteer for a few hours at an event or take on a larger leadership position.
Interested in getting involved? Please fill out this form https://forms.gle/LsBWEBoduChM8gZGA and join us at our next meeting on May 13 at 7:00 PM in Room 101 at Westford Academy for our Bring-A-Friend night and Open House. We’d love to have you!
