WES 4th graders in Ms. Cox’s reading classes visited the Class Café to “taste test” different genres of books! Students sampled stories, shared their favorites, decorated placemats, and even ended with a sweet cupcake treat. Such a fun way to spark a love for reading! ❤️🤍
These Westside Elementary students were recognized by their teachers for showing outstanding behavior in the classroom! As a reward, they each got to choose a free book from our school’s book vending machine—how fun is that?!
Keep up the amazing work, Lil' Warriors! ❤️🤍
Keep up the amazing work, Lil' Warriors! ❤️🤍
At WES, students earn stars in the library for showing amazing behavior. Once they collect three stars, their class earns a Fun Center Day! 🎉
Congratulations to Mrs. Wolverton’s Kindergarten class, the very first class in the entire school to reach this goal! What a fantastic example of teamwork, respect, and Warrior spirit. ❤️🤍
A big thank-you to our librarian, Mrs. Fort, for creating this fun program that motivates students and celebrates positive behavior!

Ms. Cox’s 4th grade literacy students took part in a gallery walk around the classroom, reading short nonfiction passages and responding to the text.
