West is Grateful!


The students from West Elementary are thankful for many things. These are their "Thankful Turkeys". Many kids said they were thankful family and friends. I am grateful to teach your amazing kids everyday.







REMINDER: There will be no school November 27-29 for Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful break, E-Hawks! 😊


Thanks to generous donations from E-Hawk middle and high school students, members of our community, Fareway, and Dollar Fresh, we have 44 Thanksgiving meals that are packed and ready for MS/HS students and their families!
