These grants are vital in enhancing our classrooms and school environment, benefiting students throughout the year. A huge congratulations to Dr. Adkins, Mrs. T, and Mrs. Whitaker for their outstanding grant achievements! Your dedication to our students and commitment to excellence shine brightly.

Spelling with Music? 🤩
Ms. Campbell brought her ukulele to class and sang a catchy song that made spelling color words a breeze with her students . 🌈🎸 What a special and engaging way to learn! 📚✨
In honor of National Physical Education Week , we want to recognize our PE teacher and all of the fun ways she gets her students engaged and moving! Coach Faulconer's fun and interactive games teach students many skill building techniques through physical education. 🏀👟



🌟 At Westside, we believe in the power of teamwork and support! 🌈 Each class is paired with a "Westie-Bestie" at the start of the year, fostering unity and encouragement. Recently, Mrs. Sanders' 1st grade class spread cheer and motivation to Ms. Nick's 3rd grade class for state testing with heartfelt cards and goodies! 📚💖
Ms. Brown's second graders are working on teamwork and fairness! 🎲🃏
By playing card games, board games, and other interactive games, they're learning valuable lessons every step of the way such as listening carefully to directions, and playing fair. Rotating every 15 minutes, it's a new adventure, packed with laughter, learning, and camaraderie. 🎉

Parents, its about time to return library books! If your child has an overdue book, they will have a note sent home in the upcoming weeks as a reminder. Starting May 13th, students will be checking their books in as they visit the library. 📚 🔄

Turtle Tag is a fan favorite in Coach Faulconer's PE class.🐢
In the game of Turtle Tag, the taggers must gently tap students. When a student gets tapped, they lay on the floor with their hands and feet in the air and a classmate must help them up to continue playing. Students can take a short break by being a "turtle in their shell". 🐢
Check out these photos of Ms. Pilant's kindergarten class!
