In a collaborative effort between PTA and Westside Faculty, students at Westside were recently given the red-carpet treatment for reading.  Students who achieved their reading goal for the first part of March, were given the opportunity to see a magic show.  At this same event, baskets centered around a book theme, were displayed as a part of the silent auction.  All proceeds from the night will be directed toward technology improvement in the school.
