Westside Elementary GT students had an exciting opportunity to watch a performance by Williams Baptist University drama students—a play they helped create! A special shoutout to Rylan Brodell and Sadie Tate, whose writing was selected to be featured in The Story Store production. They were honored on stage and received a copy of the script! Our GT students had a fantastic time and look forward to participating again in the future. Way to go, Warriors!
