It's Leap Day, and our Westies are celebrating by learning about frogs, wearing green, and having a "froggy" time celebrating this extra day! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿธ Did you know that Leap Day happens only once every four years? Today, we get an extra day in our calendar. It's called Leap Day because we "leap" over a day that doesn't usually exist in a normal year. Isn't that cool? ๐Ÿธ๐ŸŒŸ

Native American Club has been creating pottery while studying Native American techniques & incorporating symbolism into their art. Mr. McClurg led the students while they used the traditional coiling technique to form their pieces. After the pieces dried, Native American symbolism was discussed & displayed so the students could incorporate these symbols into their pottery designs. We couldnโ€™t love this more. Incredible work guys, you make us proud!

Recently 5th grade had a really cool chance to participate in a lesson with Joey Duffy from the Tulsa based rock band Cliffdiver. Joey talked about his musical influences, recording music, and what it's like to be in a band traveling the country playing music. The kids got to ask lots of questions and had a great time hearing some amazing stories. Thank you Joey for making time to connect with our students and sharing ways music can be a potential career path & and a way of life. Thank you Mr. Levesque for helping make such a cool experience happen for our kids at Westside!! Super neat.
