It is important to us that children use higher order learning thinking skills as well as becoming successful problem solvers. In addition to the academic side, we offer a myriad of extra-curricular activities. Our Student Council is an active group. We offer: chorus, band, orchestra, Math Olympiads, after-school workshops, Parents as Reading Partners (PARP), a fun filled yearly celebration of Read Across America Day (Dr. Seuss's Birthday) and Field Day to name a few. Character counts at West and we are pleased to be implementing Second Step, an anti-bullying and character education program. Nearby public libraries...
