Westside Summer Celebration is coming up in a week! Westside students will be able to enjoy water inflatables, games, and sno cones from Patsy's Sno Cones on May 22nd! 🍧🍧💦💦 Students will not be changing clothes and will have time to dry off after the water inflatables when they play games outdoors. Students are encouraged to bring a towel to assist the drying off. Sunscreen is also encouraged. All students are expected to wear dark colored shirts and shorts that can get wet from the water inflatables. Swimsuits may be worn underneath the shirt and shorts if desired, but all students must wear their dark colored shirt and shorts at all times. There is a suggested $4.00 donation for each student to help offset costs, but this donation is not required to participate. Thank you for your support of Westside!

Ms. Lang created an unforgettable adventure for her students in the library at Westside! During "camping week" students got to experience the great outdoors without leaving the comfort of their favorite reading spot. The library was transformed into a cozy campsite, complete with tents and flashlights. 🏞️🌲🔦



Mrs. Stone’s 3rd graders are really DIGGING into science. These young paleontologists are practicing digging up dinosaur bones 🦕🦴(chocolate chips) from the ground (the cookie 🍪).
The students drew out their specimen ✏️, then used their tools (toothpicks & toothbrushes) to carefully extract the “bones.” What a fun & yummy way to learn all about paleontology, bone extraction & science! Keep it up 3rd grade science stars, we love it!







Last week, our awesome partner in education BancFirst, fed our Westside team some yummy Chick-fil-A. It’s always a fan favorite & our staff was so grateful! Thank you BancFirst for your continued support. 🤝❤️🦓



Recently, Ms. Taber was caught going above and beyond to build relationships with her students. Building relationships isn't just about what is taught in textbooks; it's about the moments shared outside the classroom too. 🍽️
Kudos to Ms. Taber for fostering connections that go beyond the syllabus! 🍎📚
