Westwood High School's teachers showed their enthusiasm for Westwood High School's class of 2020 on Friday evening. Five mini-parades were held in various areas of town. "All seniors received a form to complete...including their address," explained Ann Dumais, a parent of a WHS senior and a volunteer with Westwood Community in Action, which traditionally organizes the All Night Graduation Party. "If you want the teachers to drive by, you had to complete the form."

Your mayor saw the "Purple" parade group, led by a Westwood Police Department patrol car with its lights on and siren wailing.

"These teachers are going through a crazy time - to think they are prioritizing making our seniors feel so special on a Friday evening is pretty special!!" Summarizes Dumais.
