February is Black History Month
Thank You, Natasha Jackson, for Providing the Black History Month Display for our Tigers!
Black History Month Events at West Cypress
Our students are learning about a different historical figure each day through our morning broadcast, thanks to Ms. Eskridge.
Mrs. Jackson's lovely Black History Month display at our main entrance is not our only Black History Month display. Our Tigers are creating and designing their own displays to pay tribute to Black History Month.

Wall of Fame for Shoe Tying!
If your Kinder, 1st Grader, and/or Second Grader can tie his/her shoes, please notify Coaches Mirizzi and Cadorette because they want to honor this accomplishment in the school gym on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!
Once notified of the student's successful shoe-tying accomplishment, we will provide your student with a paper shoe to color, take the student's photo, and then post the photo and customized paper shoe on our WALL OF FAME FOR SHOE TYING!
It's going to be really exciting to see our young Tigers on our WALL OF FAME!
