Westridge Elementary announced a schedule of activities for the week of November 9–13, 2026, according to a November 9 report. The week's programming includes a STEM Open House, a hygiene drive to support local families, and various student field trips.
The PTO is conducting a hygiene drive from November 9–13 to collect new, unopened items for local families. Donated items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, hand soap, body wash, lotion, deodorant, lip balm, combs, brushes, razors, cotton balls, cotton swabs, tissues, toilet paper, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets are being accepted. The organization requested that families do not donate bulk-sized items from Costco or Sam’s Club.
Each donated item earns one point for a student's class, with cash donations counting as one dollar per point. Class goals include the Bronze Team at 50 points, Silver Team at 100 points, and Gold Team at 150 points. The class with the most points will receive the Golden Toothbrush Trophy and an ice cream party, while the teacher with the most donations will receive a $20 Brick Oven gift card.
STEM Fair activities are scheduled throughout the week. On Thursday, November 12, families are invited to a STEM Open House in the gym from 3:30–4:30 p.m. to view student projects. Participating students should bring their projects to school on Thursday. On Friday, November 13, STEM Fair judging will take place, though parents and family members are not permitted in the gym during the judging process.
Other scheduled events include a Community Council meeting on Tuesday, November 10, at 7:00 a.m. On Wednesday, November 11, which is Veterans Day, kindergarten, second, third, fourth, and sixth grades will participate in field trips. Additionally, choir is scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:45–8:20 a.m.
The school is also promoting its Operation Wildcats Read Mission #2, which encourages students to read for 20 minutes every night and record it on a November tracking sheet. Featured books include All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold and Suzanne Kaufmann, Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson, Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo, and Wonder by R. J. Palacio.
Looking ahead, a Hope Squad meeting is scheduled for November 18 from 3:20–4:00 p.m., and Provo High School LIAs are scheduled to visit on November 20. Thanksgiving Break will take place from November 25–27, during which there will be no school.
