What complex, yet beautiful art projects!
Our littlest eagles earned Eagle of the Week awards today, too! Congratulations, Briley & Tammy!

On Friday, September 19, West Side celebrated "Why Apply" day! Organized by career coach Shelly Haag, teachers and staff wore college apparel and shared why they applied for higher education.
6th graders tried their hand at Sumerian cuneiform. What are the benefits of a clay tablet? Easy to work with and easy to correct mistakes. Drawbacks? You wouldn't want to carry a backpack full of them! They have also enjoyed the fall weather in the outdoor classroom!
Good Job Madilyn Keller - 4H member. She won Best in Show for her pie crust, a Blue Ribbon for a hot cocoa mix, a Blue Ribbon for her poultry chain chickens, and 2nd place in Junior Rabbit Showmanship!
