WESTFIELD — “Maybe Christmas, he thought doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more,” said the narrator in the Grinch Who Stole Christmas.
There were no grinches at Westfield Academy and Central School, save the cardboard ones decorating the walls, but there was plenty of Christmas spirit present as elementary students celebrated the season with their traditional themes of Whoville and the Polar Express.
Despite all of the adjustments required because of the COVID pandemic — students, teachers and elementary principal Dr. Mary Rockey decorated the halls, had cookies and cocoa with lunch and visited the Whoville and Polar Express stations for Christmas pictures.
