On Monday, October 14th, Craig Harvey from the Horace Mann Agency awarded Principal Sara Matis the Crystal Apple Award.  The Crystal Apple Award recognizes excellence in education by honoring those making a significant impact in the lives of children.  Sara Matis has been the principal at Westside Elementary for seven years.  She is known for her love of the children, and knows every single student's name in the school.  Children love her because she always says hello to them in the hallway and several have mentioned that they love her 'sense of style'.  She is always willing to do whatever she can to motivate students to learn and progress.  She can even be found playing intramural games against the sixth graders in her high heels every once in a while.  Teachers love Mrs. Matis because she always goes the extra mile to make them feel that they are amazing and important. Many teachers have said that Mrs. Matis brings a sense of fun and positivity to Westside.  Sara and her husband Bill reside in Spanish Fork and have two beautiful children.
