With Halloween approaching, it’s only fair that we give each 9th Grade advisor their own Halloween candy. From jelly beans to chocolate, there’s candy for everyone. 

Ms. Amos

Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans

Ms. Amos’s colorful personality is just like the Harry Potter jelly beans—bold, colorful, and always full of surprises! Her unique shoes and Australian flair add a touch of fun that makes her stand out. And, like the many flavors of the jelly beans, there’s always something new to learn from Ms. Amos.

Dr. Busch

Big League Chew Bubble Gum

Dr. Busch is as iconic as the Big League Chew Bubble Gum. A superfan of the beloved LA baseball team would not chew any other gum and will always support the boys in blue. His mathematical skills guided one of the Dodger’s own pitchers at Harvard Westlake. Go Dodgers!

Mr. Chang

Mint Tic Tacs

The fresh mintiness that Tic Tacs give to your breath resembles the chill, suave coolness of Mr. Chang. As a math teacher and advisor, he brings an aura of nonchalance everywhere he goes, whether he’s teaching or just taking a stroll around campus. 

Ms. Cutler

Nerds Gummy Clusters

Ms. Cutler’s bubbly and exotic outfits are as multicolored as the nerd-covered gummies that so many adore. The candy that’s a mixture of sweet and tart is a perfect fit for the sensational history teacher. Nerds are a high quality candy for a high quality teacher.

DCal

Ghirardelli Square 

This awesome 9th Grade dean is from the Bay Area, where Ghirardelli has a factory located. With so many different flavor profiles to choose from, you might mistake it for DCal and his various areas of expertise, from teaching Yearbook, Math, and Computer Science classes, to coaching flag football and helping out the 9th grade class! 

Mr. Eichelberger

Smarties

A clever candy for a clever teacher. Mr. E’s intelligence and pastel shirts make him a perfect fit for this Halloween candy favorite. His vast amount of knowledge is definitely larger than all the Smarties put together. Maybe Smarties can’t make you any smarter, but Westridge’s 9th grade advisor and Physics teacher can. 

Dr. Garrett

Haribo Gummy Bears

Dr. Garrett’s approachable and sugary nature makes her a favorite among her students and advisees, her energy as delightful as a bag of gummy bears. She always brings both seriousness and sweetness to any situation.

Coach Jenna

Dark Chocolate

Of the vast amount of candies that exist, dark chocolate is definitely one of the healthiest and tastiest out there. And in addition to all the health benefits of dark chocolate, Coach Jenna’s PE class will get you those gains and more. With care and compassion, she will revive anyone’s love for sports and keep you healthy.

Ms. Martinez

Hershey’s Kisses

Ms. Martinez is a familiar face on Westridge’s campus. Just like a classic Hershey’s Kiss, Ms. Martinez’s caring manner is welcomed with open arms to each student on campus. Her passion and welcoming air shines through while she’s teaching Spanish or even participating in her advisees’ skit during the Freshman Retreat in Big Bear. You can never go wrong with a Hershey’s Kiss!

Ms. Spicer

Skittles

Ms. Spicer is joyful and bubbly much like the sweet and colorful Skittles candy we all know and love. Ms. Spicer’s happy and bright personality shines through during advisory. She brings a smile to her advisees’ faces with her relaxed demeanor and humor.
