Before the bell rang, they even got a behind-the-scenes look inside the police car—talk about a morning to remember! 💙

During our GE 8-year celebration, students from every grade level were selected to participate by introducing speakers and leading both the Pledge of Allegiance and the Oklahoma State Pledge. 🇺🇸
They demonstrated outstanding leadership, confidence, and pride as they represented our school so well. We are incredibly proud of the way they stepped up and shined! ✨✨
Ms. Pilant's class created a book & presented it to Westside's dynamic duo, Mrs. Lyons and Mav! 🐕🦺
Students wrote their favorite things about Ms. Lyons & Maverick and how they help our school & Ms. Pilant gifted our amazing school counselor her own copy & even got one for our school library. 📖
Great Expectation #4 says "We will recognize every effort & applaud it".
These amazing Westside students implemented that on the ball field as they played each other on opposing teams! Way to go Westies for setting the standard! ⚾️⚾️
Kindergartners as Westside have been learning about flowers and what it takes to make them grow! Students planted their own seeds, and with some love and patience (and water of course), students will get to take home their own little plant! 🪴
Westside celebrated our 8th year as a GE model school and accepted our award from Ms. Sue Early! ✨
