Engagement improved a lot this month! Way to go Westover readers, you all make us proud! Keep up the hard work, and don't forget about our October reading challenge!
We want to congratulate Dr. Lawanda B. Staten on defending her dissertation earlier today. Congratulations Dr. Staten. This accomplishment is much deserved and your bear family is so excited for you!
Happy Fall Break to you!!!!
Today our 8th grade teachers are celebrating their incredible class of 8th graders with a trip to the pumpkin patch at Donnell Century Farm. We wish them the best day and the best memories! 8th grade is such a special year. Thanks for working hard and making great choices for the first 9 weeks.
Mrs. Jessica Simpson's 6th grade ELA class recently completed their novel study on "A Long Walk to Water." They completed body biographies for the two main characters focusing on character traits, plot, and theme. They have also kicked off their Water for South Sudan fundraiser. We’ve surpassed our $300 goal in under a week! A HUGE accomplishment for Mrs. Simpson's ELA classes! Another HUGE accomplishment...over the last 5 years her students have raised nearly $3000 to provide clean drinking water and education to children in South Sudan. ALL ON THEIR OWN! What an amazing feat!
5th grade camoflage projects have been on display this week for everyone to enjoy. These students worked hard and deserve to be celebrated. How many animals do you see? Way to go 5th grade!
Reading is so important to the academic success of your child. It improves vocabulary, helps them use their imaginations, teaches them empathy, and takes them places they may never get the chance to visit. This October we are doing a schoolwide reading challenge. Complete and color at least 15 challenges and get a treat on Halloween. Complete and color the MOST schoolwide and get a special prize. Remember to take as many AR tests on these books as you can! You make take photos and share them with me at crownover.susan@hcschoolstn.org or post and tag Westover Elementary School, TN on social media. Happy haunted reading!
Don't forget the deadline to order shirts for Coach's big night is FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th. You may stop by the school and fill out an order form or print one from here and send in your payment. Let's make this a special night for coach!
Dear Bear Family,
On October 16th, we will be dedicating our new gym floor in honor of Coach Blankenship. To commemorate this event, and to purchase a covering for our new court, we are selling the Bear Wear shown above.
We will be sending home paper copies of this order form on Monday. The sale will be on through September 29th. Please send money with your order form. The shirts will be ready before the big night! (Our first home game of the season!)
If you know people who played under Coach Blankenship, would you please share this information with them? We would love to see a HUGE turnout and a sea of blue and gold in the stands!
The special “Westover Alumni” shirt will have “Coach Blankenship” on the sleeve. It’s meant to be a special way to honor him for the many years of service, and for the many lives he has touched throughout his tenure with us at Westover.
We will have a Reception Room set up in the Library, so the alumni and other coaches, teachers, and administrators will have an opportunity to talk with T, and share wonderful memories of your time with Coach.
We need to raise $9,000 to purchase the rollout covering to protect our court when we have to utilize it for other school-wide events. 100% of the money raised this night, and with this shirt sale, will go toward purchasing this cover.
Please know that this night is about celebrating our Coach and dedicating the court in honor of him. We simply want to protect the court that bears his name.
We hope you will share out with everyone far and wide about this dedication night. Please forward this email to everyone you know whose life was touched by Coach Blankenship.
Let’s make it a night to remember.
Thanks so much,
Mrs. Maynard
