Teacher, students, and families are reading their favorite books and logging their minutes with Beanstack this year. If you misplaced the flyer that came home at the beginning of September, another copy will come home Monday. Contact Mrs. Johnson, Westside’s librarian, if you have any questions.
Today we celebrate Ms. Parker, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Howze for all they do to keep Westside Elementary clean, safe, and looking its best! We appreciate their hard work, dedication, and the many things they do behind the scenes each and every day.
