On behalf of Ms. Lang, the students, and the teachers of Westside we thank CPSF and everyone involved that made this grant possible. This will help enrich the learning experiences of our students and help aid in the growth of lifelong readers! We are endlessly grateful."-Brittany Lang, Librarian

In Mrs. Palmer’s class, a fabulous fourth grader took on the role of guest reader, showcasing her reading skills with her favorite book! The classroom was filled with attentiveness and curiosity as the young reader confidently engaged peers in the story.

Teachers and staff were pleasantly surprised as they received donuts from Mr. Don McGuire, a high support of Westside, teachers and staff. The gesture served as a simple yet meaningful token of appreciation, emphasizing the value placed on the efforts of the school's dedicated team.

He's making a list, he's checking it twice, he's gonna find out who's naughty or nice. Santa Claus is comin' to town! Mrs. Whitaker and her Pre-K classes had fun writing their letters to Santa this week. Don't worry, there's still time to get your letter to Santa!

Fifth grade students recently participated in Biztown elections. These Westies campained, designed posters, and candidates gave their final speeches. Westside 5th grade students will join local school districts at Biztown to build junior academic and economic success. These students took a lot of time and effort in preparing for these elections. We are so proud of all the dedication these students have shown.

School fundraising is never an easy task, but our Westies always give their best effort! Westside would like to recognize and celebrate our top two winners, Finley Faulconer and Dallas White. These two were thrilled to pie the principals and spin the Wheel of Fun. The money raised from this fundraiser will go to supporting Westside. Huge thank you for assisting our amazing site!

Westside Elementary is thrilled to announce our 2023-2024 Teacher of the Year. Everyone please help us congratulate our incredible, Mrs. Sanders! Mrs. Sanders has taught 1st grade since 2003 and is an integral part of our building. When asked about her motivation behind teaching she shared, "My why is helping my first graders become independent readers. Every day that I prepare them to take their first spelling test or gain more confidence with reading is pure magic. It is an honor to be a small part of their journey and to witness their growth as readers." We are so grateful for Mrs. Sanders and all the love and devotion she brings to her Westside Family.

It's that time again! With the weather quickly changing, it's important that your child is prepared with clothing appropriate for the temperature. Labeling the tags of jackets and coats is always helpful, just in case the item is misplaced.


These Westies cashed in zebra bucks for special rewards, and Keigan paid to share about her pet hermit crabs. Many of Mrs. Campbell's students were thrilled to experience seeing this tiny creature for the first time! She taught her classmates all about hermit crab care and behavior. We love seeing these cool experiences in our building!

Westside classes participated in a poster decorating competition in recognition of Red Ribbon Week. Our wonderful counselor, Mrs. Lyons, delivered the winning blue ribbon to Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Gatz' Class. This group created a fantastic representation of this week's meaning with, "Say no to drugs and yes to chicken nuggs!" Fantastic job to everyone who participated in this week's events!
