This week Westside celebrated Red Ribbon Week. Students and teachers dressed in red, dressed to represent their favorite teams, and dressed in crazy attire as they pledged to stay drug free. Each class also created a poster to remind people the importance of staying away from drugs.
Our amazing kids here at Westside work together to support, encourage, and lift each other. Mrs. Coates' fifth grade class practices service by spending half an hour each week with their second grade buddies in Miss Hull's class. They read, play games, and practice skills that the second graders are learning.
On Tuesday, Westside had an assembly to celebrate our success with our fundraiser this year (thank you so much to everyone who dontated!! Your generosity will go so far to help our school with resources and technology!). Every grade was able to meet their goal, which meant that every teacher got a pie in the face. And since everyone worked so hard, Mrs. Pruitt got one too. Thank you for all of your support Westside students and parents!
Last week we had our annual Faculty vs. the 6th Grade soccer game. The sixth graders played hard and everyone had a great time! Great job to everyone who played!
The Road to Success program is up and running. This is a great opportunity to help motivate your reader as well as track his or her reading minutes. There is a great overview of the program at https://rtsutah.com/program-overview/. Here you will find a great video reviewing the main components of how the game/program works. Don't forget that "when on the road to success, you can go anywhere!" Feel free to contact your student's instructor for any further questions.
Last night Westside had our Super Wildcat Fun Run with races, face painting, dinner, and a photo booth. It was wonderful to see so many of our wildcats there and having a great time! Thank you to all of our students and families who support our great school!
Thank you so much to everyone who was able to come and participate in our Westside Chalk Fest! We had a great time and saw some wonderful artwork! Be sure to look for pictures of your art at the Springville Library!
We Support Westside Wildcats!
The Fun Run is Monday and the Chalkfest is tomorrow! The procedes from these events will go toward technology and other programs at our school.
Today the fifth graders worked with Rachel Kimball, Nebo School District's dance specialist, to learn about the elements of dance as applied to social studies. The students learned the original 13 colonies, the etymology of their names, and then created short dances to portray the names of each colony. Each group then performed their dance while the rest of the class watched and then labeled the colony on a map.
Just a reminder that tomorrow, September 15th, is picture day! Smile big:)
