Fifth Grade Goes on a Field Trip to the Capitol

Submitted by lindsey.smith on

On Friday February 12th, the fifth grade students went on a field trip to the Capitol building in Salt Lake City. The students spent time watching from the galleries in the Senate and the House of Representatives. After floor time was over, Representative Thurston invited several of our students down to the floor of the House and showed them around. Towards the end of the day, Representative Thurston and Senator Hinkins both met with all of the fifth grade classes to talk about their jobs and answer questions that the kids had.

6th Grade Goes to STEM Fest

Submitted by lindsey.smith on

Our Westside 6th graders got to attend STEM fest on Friday. They learned about infrared light, how to fly a plane, how to operate a robot and so much more! STEM fest helped students see how science, technology, engineering and math are used in many jobs today. Students came back excited to explore a new career in the STEM field. We are grateful for the chance they got to experience this amazing event!
