Westside Consolidated Schools had the pleasure of hosting State Senator (19th District) and State Representative Dwight Tosh (District 38) on campus this morning. Senator Wallace and Representative Tosh visited Coach Nabors Civics class where they fielded some questions from our students. We also walked them around our building discussing our security updates at the high school and across the district. Thank you both for taking the time to come tour our school and serve your communities!!!






At morning meeting on Fridays, we recognize our readers who move to the next level of AR points. There are other students in most levels from previous weeks. We have a strong reading culture growing in our building and we love to see kids find books they love!

Alan Oldman visited elementary GT students today and let them hold a human brain. He also shared and showed a teratoma that was a big hit! It contained hair, teeth and bone. This was the culminating activity to a unit of study on the brain and growth mindset with students. Thank you Mr. Oldman for providing this enriching opportunity!
