Westside Elementary

Westside is so proud and impressed by these incredible Running Club achievements! All of Coach Faulconer's runners pushed themselves to reach their goals. These driven individuals not only devoted themselves to competing during club hours, but also signed up for 5k runs and other events. We'd like to thank Coach Faulconer for establishing this club at Westside. She has many past runners now competing at Claremore High School. Our top runners, Finley and Mateo Buoy, will be recognized on the Running Club plaque alongside top runners of prior years. Congratulations, we are so proud!

Ms. Palmers 4th grade students were able to combine art and math. Ms. Palmer would select a card and students had to read the measurement. Then, they would look at the sheet and see what kind of body part they needed to draw. These students loved creating wild things with measurement. Such a fun idea! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Teacher Appreciation Week is underway! Westside staff was treated to tropical drinks from building administrators. They also had a sweet surprise of donut bites from the Abbott Family.

Just like these kindergarten students, Mrs. McClurg's class chia pets are growing and thriving! These Westies have enjoyed watching their plants get taller each day.🌱 #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Gaylord gave the younger Westies a chance to explore some of the instruments that aren't typically available to them yet. These precious pianists were fascinated with the mechanics and sounds. These first time experiences are so precious! #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
