Are you planning vacations and family time during the next school year? The 2025-2026 West Side School Calendar can help with that!
Another great guest speaker in Mr. Caleb's room this year was Mrs. Veronica Haile. The students have been writing back and forth to her all year and she visited to do some activities related to the class study of Little House on the Prairie. They made Johnnycakes (the kids loved it), tried molasses (the kids hated it), and ate some homestyle fried apples too! Students also learned about companion planting with the Native American "three sisters" planting technique. They got to plant their own corn, beans, and squash in a raised garden bed here at school!
Baseball coach Shane Davis, whose 2025 team advanced to the quarterfinals of the state tournament and won district and conference titles, was elected to the 2025 AHSCA All-Star Baseball staff! Davis, who said he feels honored and humbled to be chosen, has reached the Final Four 4 times and has a career record of 304-119.
Mr. Caleb ended his year in social students with a British-themed tea party! A 5th-grade tradition, long-time West Side teacher, Mrs. Sandy gave a great presentation of her travels to England as well as sharing some cucumber finger sandwiches, tea cakes, and after eights. We have had such a great year, and made so many memories!
Mrs. Amy and the entire West Side Elementary Staff want to send a huge thank you to all of the parents and volunteers that helped make our Elementary Field Day and Fun Day a success this year!
