Last Spring, Ms. Lang received a grant from Casey's for $5,000. She just received the books that she purchased with that grant for Westside's school library! 📚📚 Ms. Lang said "I am so excited to get them out on the shelves for the kiddos!"

Westside third graders have been studying Native American history and are currently working on their own projects studying the history of different tribes. Ms. Palmer shared her heritage and knowledge of Native Americans in a wonderful presentation for all of the third grade wing. She shared dances, clothing, and the different expectations of the Native American people during their dances. 💃🕺🎶

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. 📚📖

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.

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! 👨‍🚒💪
