Positive Office Referral:
Bryant Brown and Keegan Towell
“Bryant and Keegan along with another boy went all the way across the campus to pick up our (very heavy) lab specimens for Biology! They made my day a whole lot easier. They are always willing to help out.” — Mrs. Ballard
Positive Office Referral:
Abi Gomez
"Abi has done an amazing job of showing two new students around campus, and making them feel welcome. West Side is very lucky to have such a wonderful young lady within the district. New schools and new people can be very scary. However, being a 13 year old girl and choosing to step away from your normal routine at school and your friends to help people you do not know is scary as well. Abi has shown great leadership qualities this past week. I want Abi to know that I see her, and that she IS making a difference at our school." -- Mrs. Stevens
