📚✨ We wrapped up Read Across America Week at Westside! We want to give a huge shout out & a major thank you to the Claremore community members for stepping up & volunteering their time to pour into our students.
Thank you to the Claremore Police Department, Claremore Sheriff's Office, Tulsa Police, RSU Men's Basketball, RSU Women’s Soccer, Miss Northern Oklahoma, Service Dog PawLea with Volunteers for Youth, our partner in education BancFirst, and many other members of the community for investing their time in our students' day! ✨
Thank you again to everyone who participated & helped make this week unforgettable!
This Read Across America week, students here at Westside are buzzing with excitement and diving into the world of books! 📚
Did you know that reading not only enhances literacy skills but also improves cognitive function and boosts empathy? Research shows that children who read regularly perform better academically and have improved concentration and vocabulary. Plus, reading with friends fosters a sense of community and encourages discussion, critical thinking, and creativity. Let's celebrate the joy of reading together and inspire a lifelong love for books! 📖✨
Calling all literally critters! Whether they're roaring with excitement over adventure tales or fluttering with joy through fantasy forests, these Westies are letting their imagination run WILD! 🦁 📚
It's "Wild About Reading" day and our students and staff showed up in Zebra stripes, spots and scales. Check out these students in their animal attire (or red)! 🦓 🐄 🦈 🐶
Miss Taber's fourth grade class has been using science by starting mini greenhouses in class. Students grew sprouts from beans, ziplock bags & damp paper towels and ended up with their very own sprouts to keep! 🌱 🌱
This hands-on experiment looks so fun, and these fourth graders are showing their love for nature by the smiles on their faces! 🪴
Today, on School Social Worker Day, we recognize our social worker, Courtney Burnshire, for her contributions to our students' well-being and success. Courtney's dedication and expertise make a large impact on the lives of our school community. 🏫
Thank you, Courtney, for your dedication and service!
Today, we “blended in” with the spirit of Read Across America week by wearing camo or green attire! 📚🌿 From forest green shirts to camouflage jackets, our students and staff disappeared into the excitement of celebrating literacy and Dr. Seuss' legacy! 📕 💚

March is Women's History Month, and Ms. Johnson is showcasing women in our community and their accomplishments. The stories of these women remind us that no dream is too big and no obstacle too great to overcome. We honor their contributions by continuing to uplift women everywhere. Together, we can shape a future where every girl knows that her potential is limitless! 👩🔬🎉
It's Leap Day, and our Westies are celebrating by learning about frogs, wearing green, and having a "froggy" time celebrating this extra day! 🎉🐸
Did you know that Leap Day happens only once every four years?
Today, we get an extra day in our calendar. It's called Leap Day because we "leap" over a day that doesn't usually exist in a normal year. Isn't that cool? 🐸🌟
Recently, Ms. Barbee brought the wonders of the Arctic life to Kindergarten with her engaging "Blubber and Fur" lesson. Students were able to feel how animals such and polar bears and penguins stay warm in icy waters. 🧊🐻❄️ 🐧
