The PBS KIDS Reading Marathon is taking place during the month of November. Children (ages preschool - 6th grade) are encouraged to read 20 minutes per day or 600 minutes total throughout the month. From December 1-15 parents will then go on to our PBS website and log their minutes for AMAZING prizes around town during 2022!  

Each Reading Marathon participant will receive a personalized Adventure Pass which will give them the following: 

The Spanish Dual Language Immersion classes at Westside Elementary celebrated the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) Tuesday, November 2. They colored calaveras (skulls) and esqueletos (skeletons). Some students chose to make an ofrenda (altar) to honor a loved one who has passed away. They also enjoyed a traditional Mexican sweet bread called Pan de Muerto.

A message from our PTA:

Westside Wildcats... The spelling bee lists have gone home! If you need a classroom list, your child can ask their teacher for one. If you want to study for the schoolwide spelling bee, pick up a list in the office. Classroom spelling bees will be the first week of November. There will be 2 champions from each class 3rd - 5th that will go on to the schoolwide spelling bee. 1st and 2nd grade class winners will compete for grade level champions.

Classroom spelling bees will be held the first week of November.

There was dancing at Westside today!  For meeting the Donation Drive goal, the PTA  held a dance party with Mrs. Nielsen!  Everyone had a great time with the glow bracelets, disco lights and dancing with Mrs. Nielsen.  Thank you to our amazing PTA!

Sra. Diaz’s Green Class pledged to be drug free by tying their giant class Red Ribbon around this tree.
