(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My entire family from cousins to uncles to parents to grandparents and brothers and sisters are all part of Westy's history it is sad to see and hear of so many strong traditions being torn a part by the new leadership at this school. The history at this school means the world to me it is my past and helped mold my future.
