Mrs. Mader's Message

Hello Westside famlies,

Thank you for all of the families that attended fall conferences. It was wonderful to have time to connect with families and celebrate all of the great things Westsiders have accomplished this year. We also appreciate your support of the Book Fair!

This week we also celebrated Veteran's Day with a quick ceremony at our Flag Pole, and will spend time this afternoon with our buddies sharing things we are grateful for.

As always, please reach out with any needs you have.

With kindness,

Rachel Mader
