Our beloved founder, Pam Butler, passed away in June of 2024. Ms. Butler was not only the visionary behind The Westwood School, but also a cherished mentor, educator, and advocate for Montessori education. Her dedication and passion have left an indelible mark on all of us who have had the privilege to be part of this community.

In honor of Pam’s extraordinary contributions and in recognition of her unwavering commitment to education, we are establishing the Pam Butler Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund aims to commemorate her legacy by providing deserving students with the opportunity to experience the transformative education that Pam dedicated her life to promoting.

Pam believed fervently in the Montessori philosophy’s ability to nurture creativity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning in children. Through this scholarship fund, we aim to ensure that her vision continues to impact future generations of students at The Westwood School.

We invite members of our community, alumni, friends, and supporters of Montessori education to contribute to the Pam Butler Memorial Scholarship Fund. Your generosity will help us uphold Pam’s legacy and extend the benefits of a Westwood education to deserving students who embody the values that she held dear.

Thank you for your support and commitment to honoring Pam Butler’s memory.

“At Westwood, our vision is to encourage students in responsible citizenship so they can make a positive, personal contribution and actively participate in the national and global community.”

As we celebrate Westwood’s 37th year of nurturing students, we are joyfully looking at our strong past, giving thanks for the present, and looking forward with excitement to the many years to come! Our desire is to ensure that Westwood’s Mission and Vision will continue for generations to come. This will only be possible with a 100% partnership from our supportive community members like you! Westwood’s Evergreen Annual Fund is a key component in Westwood’s ability to continue to fulfill our mission each and every year – to develop character, foster community, and promote excellence in each of our 300 students and in all students to follow.
