Dear Westside Family,

We had a fantastic showing for the FFA Parade. We cannot say thank you enough for your unbelievable support - the teachers and staff, Lacie and the Amazing Aftercare Team, Rima as the Queen Bee, our giving and generous families, and the kids showing up in droves! Thank you.

I particularly, wanted to thank Jenna Aiello (Calvin’s mom) and her father, John, for the loan of the float. Their tireless work brought our BEAUTIFUL float and our kids safely through the parade. Thank you for the extra work cleaning up, too.

Lastly, we could not have made this happen without the endless donations of time and supplies to our parents. Thank you so much for making this year very special for our Westside School. We have a community, a family I am very grateful for.

I am so proud of this class of sixth graders! They produced an amazing play about the Greek god, Heracles. Zoey Kelder and Gracie Johnson wrote the play with editing help from Nico Romo, Leila Schmoyer, Fiona O’Sullivan, Claire Kelder and Luis Lopez. Our sound effect crew brought the action to life. Special acknowledgment to Kamila Gutierrez, Bella Abel, Tommy Dericco, Matisse Van Keirsblick, Liam Wilch, Peyton Mauritson, and Nico Romo. Our backstage managers were Zoey Kelder and Darin Juric who kept everyone organized and made sure the actors and props were in the right place at the right time.
Rose and Crew get a special shout-out for helping all the actors with their costumes. Thank you to Rosalie, Natalie, Claire, Fiona, Ellie, and Leila for making the cast look fantastic!
Sets and props were created by Uly, Jocelyn, Natalie, Andrew, Darin, Owen, and Ellie.
Special thanks to Matisse for coming up with the role of Jim Bob performed by Harrison.

Thank you everyone for an incredible year and helping FEF raise money to go towards all of the wonderful enrichment programs. Even though we raised over $70,000 we are still shy of reaching our goal. Please consider making monthly donations next year to help us reach the total. Hope everyone has a great summer!

In visual art we finished off the year sewing sketch books for the summer, screen printing shirts with 6th grade, and doing a sculpture treasure hunt exchange with kindergarten and 5th grade. AND!! Miss Asherah and Ms. Jessica sent in the manuscript for the Peptoc book! It will be published by Andrews McMeel/ Simon & Schuster next May. What a great way to honor our kids!
Have a restful, creative summer.
