Congratulations to our Tigers who participated in the Austin Regional Science Fair. We are proud of you! You may recall that the judges awarded our campus top 3 ribbons to: MaKenzie Thomas 1st place, Lenya Mithun 2nd place, and Phillip O'Brien 3rd place.

After our campus Science Fair, West Cypress sent fourteen Tigers on to the Austin Regional Science Fair. There, we are thrilled to report that three of our Tigers received Special Awards. Lenya Mithun received the Austin Parks Foundation Young Environmentalists Award. Sarva Iyer and Phillip O'Brien each were named Health Through Science Diploma Candidates. Congratulations, Lenya, Sarva, and Phillip!

All fourteen of our Tiger Austin Regional Science Fair participants received 1st or 2nd place ribbons! How exciting!!!!!

First Place ribbons went to Ava Funk, Sarva Iyer, Jaxon Stabeno-Bazan, Eddison Spodick, Ishaan Raj, London Shehan, Lenya Mithun, Phillip O'Brien, and Joanna Koshy.

Second Place ribbons were awarded to MaKenzie Thomas, Dayne Grant, Cristiano Catania, Pearce Johnson, and Brando Killelea.

The 2020 Youth Art Month Exhibition will be on display at the Lake Travis Community Library from March 2 through March 29. Be sure to see this exciting exhibition of students' works of art--especially since two of the items on exhibit belong to WCHE Tigers!

The Lake Travis Community Library is located at 1938 Lohman's Crossing Road in Lakeway. The Library is open Mondays through Thursdays 9 am to 7 pm, Fridays 9 am to 6 pm, Saturdays 9 am to 4 pm, and Sundays 12 noon to 4 pm.

Youth Art Month is celebrated across the United States annually, and the Lakeway Arts Committee is proud to showcase select works from the Lake Travis Independent School District Elementary Visual Arts Programs. This exhibition coincides with the national celebration of art programs in schools.

Thank you for your support of our West Cypress Hills Tiger Artists! And, congratulations to Jackson Brown and Bria Roeder for having their works of art selected for the 2020 Youth Art Month Exhibition. Tiger artists are instructed by Mrs. Megan Dunn and Mrs. Connie Cunningham.

Our students are learning about a different historical figure each day through our morning broadcast, thanks to Ms. Eskridge.

These Tiger projects will be displayed throughout the campus. At the end of the month, all Tigers will have an opportunity to tour each other's Black History Month projects.

....at our next General PTO Meeting that will be held on Wednesday, February 26, at 9 am. The meeting will be at West Cypress Hills Elementary in the Tiger's Den (aka Cafeteria.)

During this General Meeting, the WCHE PTO will introduce to you the Principal of Rough Hollow Elementary, Angela Frankhouser. She and WCHE Principal, Melanie Beninga, are attending the meeting to provide information about the 2020-2021 school year, the opening of our newest LTISD elementary school, and to answer questions concerning how the opening of the new school will affect our children.

If you have questions for Angela Frankouser, please submit them through the link provided below. Thank you!

During the week of March 2, we will be presenting information to our Tigers about colleges, college-life, and career options. The mornings will begin with our morning broadcasts that will include interviews with career professionals such as a veterinarian, a pediatrician, a pilot, and military personnel.

And, to ensure that this week of learning is also a lot of fun, Tigers are invited to dress for the occasion:

March 2 is STEM Day
