I hope every West student, parent and staff member had a great, relaxing vacation! We have had an awesome week back at West! We welcomed the class of 2034 to West this week with our future kindergarten students! Welcome to the newest members of the West family!
Looking ahead to next week, (March 1st - March 5th) we are kicking off our "March Madness" literacy campaign at West for “Read Across America Week!” We’ll be participating in our 4th Annual “March Madness: A Tournament of Picture Books!” This program features a bracket-style knockout tournament that pairs picture books in one-on-one match ups. The winner of each match up will be decided by student and staff votes. After each round of voting the bracket will be updated and the next round of voting will begin. The “Sweet 16” titles are all great books and we are very excited to begin reading them!
The West Elementary Walking Club is starting up next week, and will be meeting (staff members only, not students) at 8:00 AM on Tuesday morning, March 2nd and again on Thursday morning, March 4th. We will be doing laps at West to start our day off with some exercise! Our kindergarten, first grade and second grade teachers have their Professional Learning Community meetings this week. On Tuesday, March 2nd, we have a West staff meeting Zoom call at 3:35, a West School Council Zoom call at 6:00 and a West PTA Zoom call at 7:00.
March is here, which means spring isn't far away!
Thank you for your continued support!
Mr. Williams
