The West Side book club has been reading books and discussing them with one another every Thursday during lunch. In the past few weeks, they have also made bookmarks reflecting their personal reading books! The book club is also creating a book wishlist, has done poetry, and is looking forward to a field trip in the spring!

The High School Art Department at West Side High School is hosting a Soup Night this Thursday, February 12th, during the Parent Teacher Conferences to raise money to fight hunger & food scarcity. For a $10 donation, our supporters will receive a bowl of soup, crackers or cornbread and a bottle of water. All profits raised through this project stays in our community and goes to help students and their families here at West Side.
Anyone wishing to donate money but not wanting soup or pottery may send the donation to the school labeled "Attention: Mrs Caples, for Empty Bowls Project," who added, "I love how this community comes together for each other."
