Last week we celebrated our Westside Math Olympiads. These students were among the approximately 100,000 students worldwide to participate this year in the Math Olympiad program. They participated in a series of five monthly contests and weekly practice sessions that taught them to solve unusual and difficult problems and to think creatively.

Mrs. Crook’s sixth grade class were our Spirit Day winners. They had 100% of their class participate. Way to go!

Our anuual fifth grade wax museum. Everyone did a great job on their presentations.

Lori Nielsen, our Principal, was honored with the Elementary Principal Crystal Owl Award during a Nebo Administrator Training in May. This award is provided by Craig Harvey through Horace Mann.         

Colleagues said the following about Westside Principal, Lori Nielsen:

Our fourth graders spent Thursday at Springville High School for their track meet. They had a terrific time!

For May the 4th Ms. Price's class wore their Star Wars shirts. They also voted on their favorite Star Wars character and graphed the results for math. For writing, they wrote how they would use the force for kindness. It was an out of this world kind of day. May the force be with you.

To celebrate Arbor Day and Earth Day, our Student Council planted a tree in front of the school. They promised to come back in five years to see how much it has grown.

For Earth Day Ms. Price's class picked up all the trash around the playground and field. Then they made an Earth Day promise telling what they would do to keep our Earth clean and beautiful.

International Children's Day is a public holiday observed in some countries on June 1st. We are celebrating it during the month of May.  The origin of this holiday goes back to 1925 when representatives from different countries met in Geneva, Switzerland to convene the first "World Conference for the Wellbeing of Children".
