5th grade BizTown trip! Students got to work in a simulation-type environment and learn about different careers. This was a big day for students, they've been working towards this all year. They exemplified leadership, curiosity and knowledge while learning what it's like to have a career.

3rd graders took a field trip to the Will Rogers Museum. They learned about what Will Rogers did in his life, like roping, being a comedian, and a movie star. 🤠📽️ They learned about the history of his life through singing and storytelling from Author Bart Taylor and his recently published book that was signed by Reba McEntire. Mr. Taylor generously donated his new book to the Westside library! 📕

Reading buddies! 📖 Did you know that students that read together foster reading fluency, increased vocabulary exposure, and stronger comprehension skills? It's always a good day to read a book! 📕

🎅+🤝+🦓 Attendance Matters, Zebras!

We are excited to see all of our students tomorrow...and every day that follows.

There are only 15 instructional days until winter break — that’s 97.5 hours of valuable learning time left in 2025! Every class, every lesson, every day makes a difference.

Zebs & Santa agree - show up, stay engaged, and finish 2025 strong! 💪❤️🤍
