When Claremore Fire Department was at Westside, kindergarteners got to shoot hoops for a chance to try on the fireman's gear. One student made the shot! 🏀👨‍🚒

National STEM day is today and these 3rd graders have enjoyed their time with Ms. Henry, our STEM teacher. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math. STEM encompasses critical thinking and problem solving skills and helps students be career ready.

Claremore Fire Department came and presented the importance of fire safety to Westside students. 🚒🧯 They learned about all about fire trucks and the ins and outs of how firemen respond to fires. They also showed students how to safely exit a house or building if there is ever a fire with a hands on approach.

Great Expectation #5: We will help eachother whenever possible. Ms. Pilant helped her student that was on crutches get to the car line after school. We love to see our Great Expectation practices played out! 🦓

Students got to meet an astronaut native to Oklahoma that worked on the space station in the early 90s. They also had the chance to create their own mission patch. Mrs. Henry, Westside's STEM teacher applied for and planned for this trip for our 5th grade GT students.
