PRINCIPAL'S
MESSAGE
 It is such an
exciting time at Westview as we prepare for graduation!
Seniors are smiling with anticipation about their coming adventures,
and the rest of us are dealing with the mixed emotions that come
with saying goodbye to the students we’ve so enjoyed.
We want this final four weeks to be a happy, joyous time for all.
Again, we always look to the importance of preparing students for
the lifetime habits of excellence they will need in their college
and career endeavors. Please remind your students that they
need to stay focused and “on their game” until the final day of
school. Parents, it’s a good idea to watch Learning Point
closely at this time of year. This is especially important for
seniors who sometimes start to relax a little bit prematurely.
Last year I attended the PUSD summer school graduation for the
seniors who failed a class at the last minute and were unable to
participate in the June ceremony. While it was a lovely event,
I know that the graduates and their families were deeply
disappointed that they were unable to graduate with their friends at
Westview. It seems to happen every year, and my fervent wish
is that this year, all members of the Class of 2007 pass their
classes and join us on June 20!
This is my last “Principal’s Message” for the 2006-07 school
year, and I want to close by thanking Westview’s parent community.
I am convinced that you are one of the main reasons that this is
such a great school. You are so supportive of our programs,
our teachers, and especially our students, and your impact is seen
everywhere. I am in awe of the sacrifices of time and energy
that I observe from parents every day, and on behalf of the entire
Westview family I want to say again: Thank you, Thank you, Thank
you!!!

VARSITY BOYS’ LACROSSE SPRING TRIP
APRIL 12 THROUGH APRIL 17
Pictured from left:
Berrick Rastok,
Brian Foersch, Andrew Wade
The school year is coming to a close and it’s time to give a brief
overview of the boys’ varsity lacrosse team spring break trip of 2007.
This year the boys’ varsity lacrosse team ventured off to the East
Coast visiting
Maryland
and
Washington,
D.C.
They played
Warwick
High School
from
Pennsylvania
and won.
The guys got to enjoy touring
Washington,
D.C.’s monuments and lots and lots of walking. They enjoyed a
college lacrosse game, the U.S. Lacrosse Museum, bowling, and a
variety of great meals. The weather was rain every day due to
the Nor'easter, which had not risen its head for about twenty
years. Nonetheless, the schedule was filled with many outings and the
team pursued them all.
The coaches and the dad chaperones did a great job in giving the
team another wonderful lacrosse experience and we want to thank them
all.
Thanks for the memories and good luck to the graduating seniors.
Westview Boys’ Lacrosse has nominated Jared Brett, Drew Ness, and
Berrick Rastok to represent the Wolverines in the 2007 San Diego
Chapter US Lacrosse All-Star Game being held on June 2. Additionally, Brendan McWalters, Scott Schrag, and Kevin Labelle
have been listed as alternates. Congratulations to all the
nominated players.
Go Wolverines!
REFLECTIONS
IN SUMMER!
Thanks to the
138 Westview Reflections entrants for 2006-2007! We had a
fabulous turnout this year.
Now it is time to get ready for next year. The 2007-2008 theme is “I can
make a difference
by…”
Reflections is a national PTSA program that provides an opportunity
for students to showcase their talents in art, photography,
literature, music, dance and film.
Each entry is judged for its originality, creativity and how the art
reflects the theme. Entries are due in October, but summer is
an excellent time to get started on your project.
Many of our entries have gone on to win at County, State and
National levels. And it looks great on a college application!
Be creative this summer.
You can make a difference…… by entering your original work of
art in Reflections!

What's Coming Up
CRYSTAL APPLE AWARDS
In appreciation for area high
school educators who have demonstrated true dedication to their
profession, students and leaders from the community, schools and the
local congregations of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints joined to recognize eight teachers for the 3rd Annual Crystal
Apple Awards on May 8, 2007.
Honored that evening with a Crystal Apple Award were Mr. Josh
Cottrell and Mrs. Doreen McCarty from Westview. Presenting the awards – an engraved crystal apple - to the
teachers were seniors Alison Stapley and Rob Platt. A student
essay was written and presented about each teacher, expressing
appreciation for their teaching excellence and the strong values
they bring into their classroom.
The Crystal Apple Award is unique as the teachers were nominated and
chosen by approximately 150 students in the area - students who
attend an hour-long early morning religious class before high school
each day. NBC Channel 7’s Consumer Editor Bob Hansen emceed
the ceremony. A group of area high school students provided
special musical entertainment for the evening.
Other teachers that received awards were Scott Currie and Jodee
Janda from Mt. Carmel High; Matthew Becker and Randall Poston from
Scripps Ranch High; Jeanne Christensen and James Earnest from Mira
Mesa High. Also in attendance that evening was Westview
Principal Dawn Kastner and Area Administrator Sally Flournoy.

CLASS
OF 2009
Our
class is currently in the process of getting out class shirts. This
is a great opportunity for sophomores to get more involved in class
pride and activities with the purchase of a class shirt. These
shirts will be useful in the next 3 years, as ’09 students will be
able to wear their shirts to all class pride activities like pep
rallies, and will be especially useful by the Senior year during
Senior activities. These shirts will also be a small fundraiser for
Prom 2008, which will be hosted by the Class of 2009 next year. They
will be on sale for $13. All your student needs to do is to come to
Room D-102 and fill out an order form. Please encourage your
sophomore student to purchase a shirt, as it will prove to be useful
in our next high school years.
Thank
you,
Jacqueline
Kim
Sophomore
Co-President
CLASS
OF 2010
We are currently
working on many upcoming fundraisers. So far we have had an ice
skating night on the night of June 1. If you have any new
fundraising ideas, please let us know. We are also publicizing for
more members to join class council. We need lots of new people and
fresh ideas. Come to meetings on Tuesdays during lunch. Thank
you.
If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
