Over at Westfield’s South Middle School was an event billed as, “Bandtastic” and it certainly was.

The bands from five of Westfield’s schools gathered to perform individually and then as a multi-school collaboration.

Over at Whitney field, a group of volunteers worked with City of Westfield officials to install a new playscape in memory of fallen Westfield Police Officer Jose Torres.

The Westfield Spanish American Association (WSAA) initiated the concept of a new playscape to honor Off. Torres as he was a beloved member of WSAA and very involved in youth activities.

The City of Westfield was able to secure funds to enable this project to be completed.
