Westside wants to extend a huge thank you to Grant Gingerich Insurance agency for donating to help fund our 2nd grade Reading Eggs Program. This program is a fun way to engage our students in reading and learning and we are so grateful! 📖🥚🙏
Ms. Palmer's third graders read their story of the week with a buddy and helped "coach" each other when they got stuck or needed help. They took turns reading a page out loud and encouraged each other through it. 📚📖
Ms. Taber's 4th grade and Ms. Collins 2nd grade classes, which are "Westie Besties" exchanged Halloween treats. 🎃🍫🍬
Mrs. McClurg’s class got to learn about voting & got to do a mock vote. They read "Duck for President" and counted votes as a class. 🦆 🇺🇸🗳️

Zebra Family, The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please be assured that CPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast. All sites have reviewed our safety protocols.
We understand that parents/guardians may want to pick up their children through the proper channels. If you choose to do so, this will be an excused absence.
However, we do not want to send children home without supervision; therefore, our buses will not run early. If the weather changes and we must delay the buses, we will notify you as soon as possible through the CPS Mobile App and the Stopfinder App.

We ended with a bang and dressed up in our Zebra gear (or red) and celebrated being drug free! Westside brought it with the dress up days this week and we're loving it! ❤🦓
Westside had some very special visitors this week! Claremore Fire Department visited us and shared about Fire Safety, and what to do in the event of a fire. 🔥🚒👩🚒👨🚒
Students from Pre-K to 5th got to go through a pretend scenario in an inflatable house with the firefighters and even got to escape out of the window. After that, they moved on to see a firetruck and all of the things that are stored inside and used. 🚒
A heartfelt THANK YOU to Claremore Fire Department for showing up and teaching Westside students fire safety! 👨🚒💪
Happy Halloween from our Westie family! 🎃🫏🎃
