Last week, members of the student council sold and delivered Val-O-Grams to the students at Westside.   Students were able to purchase these for 25¢ during their lunch hour .

The 100th day of school was recently celebrated at Westside Elementary. Second grade teachers dressed as if they were 100 years old to make the day even a little bit more special.
