A Night of Laughter & Appreciation
May 2, 2024
​
On Friday, April 26, the Westfield Washington Schools staff was treated to an evening filled with laughter, camaraderie, and appreciation at the annual Laugh It Off event.Held to honor the staff’s hard work and dedication, the event was a resounding success, thanks to the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders within the Westfield community.The event, exclusively for Westfield Washington Schools staff, started with a tempting array of appetizers skillfully prepared by the WHS Culinary students and the WHS Foodies Rock Club.
Laugh It Off provided those moments, with our Advanced Guitar Class welcoming guests upon arrival at The Palladium, the event’s home for the past three years.The evening commenced with a spirited performance by Westfield High School Alumni, who pumped up the crowd with the school fight song. This energetic start set the tone for the rest of the evening’s festivities.The spotlight shifted to the WHS Comedy Sportz League, whose witty jokes and comedic sketches stole the show. Their sharp humor and infectious energy put the audience in stitches, proving that talent knows no bounds, even among the student body.The charismatic MCs Kyle Messmore, Westfield Education Foundation Board President, and Justin Mull, Westfield Middle School Assistant Principal, guided the audience through the night’s festivities.
During the event, the attendees were entertained by a nationally touring comedian well-known for his humor and quick wit. The comedian has been a semi-finalist on NBC’s Last Comic Standing and has two Dry Bar Comedy specials to his credit.
The success of the event was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Westfield Education Foundation, Westfield Administration, WWS PTOs, and our invaluable community partners such as Duke Energy Foundation and KI Furniture Knowledge.
The Laugh It Off event not only provided a fun-filled evening but also served as a powerful reminder of the strength of the Westfield community and the importance of coming together to celebrate and appreciate one another. Until next year’s event, let the spirit of appreciation and collaboration thrive within the Westfield Washington Schools community.
