West Side Picture Day is Friday, Sept. 15. If you wish to order, send the order form and payment on Friday with your student. Senior sports banners will also be taken, and senior athletes will need access to the uniform of their choice.
Mrs. Layne's math class sorted multiplication expression cards to match the correct prism with the correct expression for learning volume!
West Side would like to honor and remember those who lost their lives on this day, twenty-two years ago.
