For the 2023-2024 school year, West Elementary will be working on targeted practice on some “life” skills in addition to academics. Every week, we will practice a skill that will help us all be a little better. This week’s skill is a GIVING SOMEONE A COMPLIMENT.
Most people are pretty good at GIVING A COMPLIMENT, but a reminder never hurts. This week we will be practicing.
Good news! Both West Elementary School Physical Education spaces will be up and running this week. Our new Gym, or the old pool area, is still a work in progress. It is set up with floor mats and some obstacle course equipment. Our old Gym has a brand new floor! Both spaces look fantastic, and we are lucky to have two Gyms for our classes!
The students have been working hard in Art class to create a beautiful piece of artwork for West Elementary's Square 1 Art fundraiser. Within the next few weeks you will be receiving a flyer explaining how to order keepsakes with your child's artwork on it. All proceeds go to our amazing PTA.
