Honoring Ms. Jane with the Gift of Reading
October 03, 2025
This week, The Westview School celebrated Founder’s Day, a tradition that honors the vision of our founder, Jane Stewart, and the incredible journey of our school community. The day was filled with Westview spirit, gratitude, and a shared sense of purpose.
This year, Westview’s all-school assembly included students from every grade level presenting in front of the school. The students also shared an exciting announcement: a new partnership with the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, which gifted Westview two of Barbara’s Book Boxes. In honor of Ms. Jane, Westview will be installing these book boxes on campus. One will be placed near Jane’s Story Spot on the north side of campus, and another near the 1830 playground. This partnership feels especially meaningful, as Barbara Bush herself joined us back in 1999 to cut the ribbon at the dedication of our 1900 building.
In the weeks ahead, Westview families will help fill these book boxes with gently used books, extending Ms. Jane’s love of reading to our students and neighbors. It’s a full-circle moment that connects our history with our future and continues the legacy of learning and community at the heart of Westview.
