On Thursday, February 5, the Westport Public Library hosted the Mini Moguls Marketplace, a youth business fair founded and organized by local student Aanya Gandhi. Designed for students in grades 5-8, the event provided a hands-on platform for young entrepreneurs to launch their own "businesses," selling handmade goods and curated items to the community.
Westport Public Schools honored Veterans Day on Monday, November 11, 2025, with meaningful programs across the district that brought students, staff, families, and local veterans together. From preschool through high school, students learned about the courage, sacrifice, and service of members of the United States Armed Forces and found age-appropriate ways to express their gratitude.
