“No one can help everyone. But, everyone can help someone.”
These 4th grade leaders helped Ms. Summer & Ms. Michelle, our custodians, wipe down & clean tables after lunch. These students are shining bright, leading by example.
Happy Library Shelfie Day!
Today is a day to celebrate our growing readers, their top choices of books & the library shelves we pull from!
Check out these Westies with some of their favorites books to read! 🦓❤️📚
Honoring Our Exceptional School Board Members! January is School Board Recognition Month and we couldn't be more grateful for our outstanding board members who dedicate their time and expertise to ensure the success of our schools. To our incredible school board members: Your tireless commitment, leadership, and advocacy for quality education makes a profound impact on our schools and Claremore community! Thank you for your selfless service and helping to ensure it’s a great day to be a Zebra!
Check out the big math happening in 1st grade class with Mrs. Sanders! Her class is counting to 100 and beyond with their new number-grid mat. They rolled the dice, found the number, then looked for -1, +1, -10, +10 from that number. What a fun way to learn math! Keep it up, we love to see it! ➕➖❤️🦓🙌🏽
Mrs. McClurg’s kindergarten class has been combining reading & art to create some really fun projects. They read & listened to Tacky the Penguin, a story about being true to yourself—even when it means being a little different from everybody else. Students then brainstormed and wrote words to describe Tacky, drew designs with white crayons & then painted with watercolors to create their own unique & funky shirts for Tacky. 🦓🎨🐧📚
Zebras bucks are one way Westside students earn choices for rewards after being recognized in good behavior. All classes have their own reward system in place for students to choose their reward. In Mrs. Collins class, this student chose show & tell. He shared his first buck he hunted with his Papa & that they chose a European mount. Wow! What a unique and special memory with your class! On the other hand,these 3rd grade students, chose to eat lunch with their teacher Ms. Palmer! Definitely a special time together! Keep up the good choices, Westies! 💪🏽🦓❤️

No matter your age, when Mrs. Stone talks, you listen! Third grade teacher, Mrs. Stone, noticed Ms. Pilant's kindergarteners had excellent hallway procedures and invited them down to her 3rd grade classroom for a treat & to show off to her big kids!! 🦓💪🏽❤️ Together we are stronger! We loved seeing this.
We'll say it again: small group learning = BIG impact! WIN (What I Need) Time has all staff members collaborating and working together best serve each student's specific needs at Westside.

Thank you Officer Hagen for everything you do at Westside & in our district. 🦓💪🏽👮🏼♂️ Thank you to our Westside families who are & have members who serve as well.
Mrs. Whitaker & PreK came back with some Disney flair. These students have been working on painting, sorting in the sensory bin, math skills & color recognition with a little Mickey magic mixed in. The extra fairy dust on top was that two real life Westside princesses made visits to PreK! 👸🏻🧚🏼👸🏼What a memorable & fun way to learn! Keep it up Westies! 🦓❤️
Nurse Rhiannon accepted Westside’s Certified Healthy Award - receiving a level of excellence from the Rogers County OK Health Department. Thank you Nurse Rhiannon for all that you do for our Westies! 🩺🦓❤️

Westside wants to deeply thank CF Industries for their continued support and contributions to our staff & students. CF Industries recently contributed $10,000 to Westside Elementary which directly impacts student learning in classrooms, enriches student experiences through field trips, helps to bring outside guests to talk with students, and affords opportunities to purchase materials to supplement lessons. Thank you CF Industries! Your contributions to our students are invaluable to Westside & helps provide additional opportunities that simply may not have been possible without the support! Thank you!
CPS school sites and central office will be closed on Monday, January 15th, in honor of the Martin Luther King holiday.
As we approach the Martin Luther King holiday, let us remember his words: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' ” Volunteering your time, money, or energy to help others not only makes the world a better place, but it also enhances your own life. Here are some benefits of helping others:
✋🏾 Helping others can help you live longer.
✋🏽 Altruism is contagious.
✋🏼 Helping others makes us happy.
✋🏻 Helping others promotes positive behaviors.
✋ Helping others gives us a sense of purpose and satisfaction.
How do you serve others?
