Westridge Booknic
Teachers had the opportunity to bring a food representing their favorite children's book. It was a great way for teachers to share their love of reading and love for food:)

Drama
As you know, drama is a large part of our school culture. Not only does Westridge have amazing musicals in which students and the parents give countless hours, but all students are learning various elements of drama in subject areas like language arts.
School-wide we will be boosting our Drama program by:
· Send out a “focus standard” for the week
· Create questions of the day based on the weekly drama focus standard.
· On Monday of the following week during Morning Meeting in the gym, I will choose a group to perform a dramatic based on their work from the previous week.
The following are our focus standards for the month.
