What a year of TRY DAYS!
Chef Ryan has taken our students on a flavor-filled journey all year long. From sampling exotic fruits to exploring bold dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala. Not every bite was a favorite (and that’s okay!), but the excitement, curiosity, and willingness to try something new has been incredible to see. 🙌
As we shift gears and start preparing for summer, we’re wrapping up Try Days for this school year but don’t worry… we’re already looking forward to bringing them back next year with even more fun and flavorful experiences! 🎉

We are so thankful for our amazing Westside community that came out to support our Family Fun Night fundraiser. Seeing students, families, and staff together enjoying the evening is a reminder of how special our school truly is.
A huge shoutout to our outstanding PTO for the time, energy, and heart they poured into making this event happen. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it showed in such a fun and memorable night for everyone involved.
Because of this incredible support, we’re able to continue providing meaningful experiences for our students. Thank you for showing up, giving back, and representing the very best of Westside! 🦓✨

🎤📚 Poetry in action at Claremore High School!
Students in the Creative Writing class at Claremore High School had the incredible opportunity to learn from Jay Snider, Oklahoma’s State Poet Laureate.
Born and raised in southwestern Oklahoma, Snider comes from a ranching and rodeo background and is an award-winning cowboy poet and recording artist. He has performed across the country and now shares his passion for storytelling, western heritage, and the power of poetry with audiences statewide.
During his visit, students explored the craft of poetry, heard firsthand experiences from a professional writer, and even had the opportunity to share some of their own work with him, a moment of connection and encouragement for our young writers.
This meaningful experience was made possible through the support of the Oklahoma Friends of the Library and the Oklahoma Arts Council. Read more about Mr. Jay Snider here, https://www.arts.ok.gov/our_programs/State_Poet_Laureate.html 📚✍🏼

Now THAT’S a grand entrance! ✨🚒
Paxson got to ride to school in a fire truck—how cool is that?! When he arrived, classmates were already outside waiting to cheer him on, making the moment even more special.
This unforgettable experience was made possible through a PTO Bingo Night auction, showing just how impactful our school events and community support can be. Moments like these are what make our schools such a fun and connected place to be.
It truly takes a community to create experiences our students will never forget! 🦓❤️

🎨✨ Letting go to grow in Art I!
In Ms. Hoffer’s Art I class at Claremore High School, students took on a unique challenge, creating drawings with pencils attached to long sticks instead of holding them in their hands!
With distance between the artist and the paper, every line became less about precision and more about movement, gesture, and trusting the process. What started as a little awkward (and even frustrating!) quickly turned into a powerful lesson, when perfection isn’t possible, creativity takes over.
Students loosened up, took risks, and fully embraced the “mess,” discovering new ways to express themselves along the way. 🎨🦓
