This Friday Funny comes to you from Ms.Palmer in the 4th grade!
"One of my kids was showing me a cool comic book he has. He said that it’s vintage and that it is from the 90s. I said, “I’m from the 90s, so are you saying I’m vintage?"
He wasn’t sure how to respond because he didn’t want to tell me that I’m old. 😂😂"

Westside is proud to share one of its teachers with you, Ms. Karen Olari!
My name is Karen Olari, but everyone calls me Ms. O. I am an Elementary Teacher at Westside. I have lived in Claremore since I was five and attended Westside as a Kindergartener. I enjoy going to concerts, plays, and Triple D restaurants. I love machine embroidery and am teaching myself how to sew.
Life Principle - Curiosity; how the heat of the sun bakes our s’mores.
Life Principle - Empathy; understanding the sadness of a new Kindergarten friend and offering solace.
Fun Fact - I am a lifelong Sooners fan! BOOMER!
Thank you for sharing with us Ms. Olari! Westside is very thankful for you! ❤

Westside is proud to share another teacher with you! This time we would like to introduce Mrs. Sonia Eckert, a fourth-grade teacher!
"I love to teach, run, sing Disney songs, read biographies, travel, and see my son play soccer, and my daughter performs in Irish Dance competitions!! I graduated from ORU with 2 education degrees and got my master's degree in education from OSU. At the end of this year, I will have completed 17 years of teaching. I enjoy teaching with my wonderful co-workers at Westside!"
Thank you for sharing with us Mrs. Eckert! Westside loves you! ❤
#TEACHERFEATURE #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
Claremore celebrates the 100+ Paraprofessionals in our district! Thank you for EVERYTHING you do for our students and teachers!
Westside would like to introduce Mrs. Leigh Johnson!
My name is Leigh Johnson. I have taught at Westside for 4 years. I have been in education for over 30 years. I hold two graduate degrees, the first in Early Childhood Education and the second as a Reading Specialist. I graduated from Pryor High School and married my high school sweetheart. We have a son and a daughter. My son is a very successful scientist and my daughter is a musician pursuing her doctoral degree. I was born and raised on our family farm near Pryor. I enjoy raising animals, traveling, kayaking, whale watching, and spending time with my wonderful family. Last year, I completed the Orton-Gillingham Reading Academy class. This year I am taking a two-year class called The Science of Reading. I enjoy learning new information that will help me be the best that I can be. I truly enjoy taking my students from where they are and watching them grow to their full academic potential.
Thank you for sharing with us Mrs. Johnson. Westside is proud to have you! ❤

📚 THANK YOUR LIBRARIAN TODAY 📚
“A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy, for there, in a book, you may find encouragement and comfort. A library is a good place to go when you feel bewildered or undecided, for there, in a book, you may have your question answered. Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people - people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book." [Letters of Note; Troy (MI, USA) Public Library, 1971]
― E.B. White
It's National Library Workers Day and we can't think of any better way to celebrate than to visit your school librarian and check out a book. I know they will have a recommendation for whatever you want to feel between the pages of a good book.
THANK YOU!!!
Catalayah - Andrea Riggs
Claremont - Ashley Troyer
Roosa - Vanessa Mudd
Westside - Brittany Lang

This Friday's funny comes from the third-grade hall!
Student: Hey, Mrs. Campbell guess what I'm gonna be when I grow up?!
Student: What's that?
Student: I'm going to go play football at OU and then I'm going to go work in that Dorito factory because they need help. They need help filling those bags all the way to the top!!
*Insert Mrs. Campbell laughing hysterically here.* 😂

During Read Across America week, Mrs. McCaw's first grade class had some guest readers from our building! Ms. Pilant, Mrs. Heatherly, and Mrs. Hinds stopped by and read some good books! The students were so excited and loved having visitors in their room. They were respectful, interested, and engaged! Great job to all involved ❤

As we closed out our winter chapter and students came back from spring break, a favorite decoration came down to make room for something new!
Mrs. James, the Computers teacher, worked with her students on WordArt.com to create snowflakes and winter art. The result was a winter wonderland!
Additionally, ALL students and staff were asked to make a SNOWBALL WISH for 2022. The wish was for ANYTHING their hearts desired. Our 2nd graders understood the assignment! They made wish after wish, 90% of those wishes were for SNOW!! (From our winter weather this past season it seems their wishes came true! 😉)
A favorite part of the winter wonderland is when the students walk through the hall; the snowflakes hanging from the ceiling begin to flutter and dance!
Mrs. James has determined for the Spring theme she will stick with flowers and sunshine (no tornadoes)!!
