Well in WESTville they say the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes that day! 💚
PK students and teachers enjoyed a morning of songs and a special performance of The Grinch earlier this week. It may have been the cutest thing ever! 🥰
Check out one very special guest narrator (thank you, Mr. Miller)!👀

We’ve celebrated TWO special WE Spartans lately!
On October 22nd, 2nd grader Blakely Kendrick was recognized at the high school football game for showing COMPASSION. 😍
Last night, 3rd grader Milo Maguffee was also recognized for being caught with good character after his class also selected him as the student who demonstrates the most COMPASSION! 🥰
We are so proud of these Westies and all their other friends at West who demonstrate so many wonderful character habits.
Congratulations Blakely and Milo! ❤️💙❤️💙
