At Westside Elementary this morning, Mrs. Wilson’s 4th grade class visited Mrs. Ally’s kindergarten class to kick off something special! Kindergarten students are beginning to learn about addition and part-part-whole, and our 4th graders were excited to help support their learning.

This is the start of a collaboration between the oldest and youngest students in the building—encouraging our 4th graders to step into leadership roles while giving our kindergarteners a fun and encouraging learning experience.

Mrs. Ally and Mrs. Wilson are doing a wonderful job building a true community of collaborators! ⭐️

This morning, the WHS Senior Boys and Girls Basketball teams visited Westside Elementary to help lead Morning Meeting! We love seeing our high school students step up as leaders and role models for our younger students.

We love seeing Warriors supporting Warriors ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️🤍!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Bethany Noto from First Horizon Bank, for visiting our WES GT students!

Mrs. Noto led an incredibly engaging session covering banking basics, saving money, and understanding loans. The children asked brilliant questions (including the mystery of "what happened to all the pennies"!), and much valuable learning occurred. We appreciate her time and expertise in teaching our students vital financial literacy skills!
