Thoughts from our faculty about Mr. Bingham and Mrs. Monson:

Mr. B is pretty famous at Westside! He's always ready with a high five, a smile, and a "how are you doing?" He visits classes and gives students empowerment lessons, and ways to deal with problems. He interacts with students at lunch and recess. Mr. B. is always available to confer with teachers as well.

Mrs. Monson is a great asset to our school. She cares about each student and helps them in the best way possible.

It was a delight to have Hank Smith visit our school today. He taught the students about making good choices, boundaries and not crossing other people’s boundaries. Talking about chickens and the “pecking” order, he said we should not be a “bystander” when we see someone being “pecked”/picked on; we should be an “up-stander.” When someone is being “pecked” on, they are like a bag of chips; the outside of the bag/person looks normal/fine, but the chips/person on the inside is getting crushed. Thank you Hank Smith for the great assemblies!

Top two spellers from each first grade class competed in the first grade spelling bee. Congratulations to our winners!

Ms. Price’s class had to say goodbye to their wonderful student teachers. Thank you Ms. Johnson and Ms. Gillespie for helping us learn and grow. 

Areas of Nebo School District have been affected by the recent storm.  Due to the extremely cold temperatures, hazardous driving conditions, and the expectation of continued snow, as of 6:15 a.m. the decision has been made to cancel school today, Monday, February 3, 2020.  We know this will be an inconvenience for many, but safety of students and employees is of utmost importance.

All extracurricular practices or activities planned for before or after school will also be cancelled.
