During Migrant Summer School at Westside, Mr. Park, from Park’s Martial Arts - School of Self Defense in Spanish Fork, taught the
students some basic self defense.

Hi! My name is Emma Olson. I’m so excited to be a third grade teacher at Westside! I graduated from UVU with my bachelor’s degree in elementary education and love every minute I get to be in the classroom! When I’m not teaching I like to spend my time outside enjoying nature or spending time with my husband and family. I feel so lucky to be a part of the Westside community! Go Wildcats! 

Hello! My name is Michaela Bates and I am the new Kindergarten teacher. I graduated from BYU in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Family Studies. I am originally from the sunny state of Florida but have lived in Utah for the last 7 years. I love the mountains but would choose the beach over mountains any day! My husband and I recently moved to Springville with our two sons and have fallen in love with this community ever since. I am so excited to be a part of Westside! 

We’re so proud of our 6th grade orchestra students and their hard work. Check out their final concert.
