Geography Bee
Sunset students participated in a school level geography contest sponsored by International Academic Competitions in January. Based on those results, some students qualified to participate in a regional contest. IAC hosted an online regional finals on March 12th. This was a fast paced, buzzer style event with students participating from all over the country!
5th grader Patrick Fonda competed in the geography, history, and science contests. Patrick made the final rounds in all three, and finished 4th in science. He also qualified to attend IAC national events! He is registered for several events in Washington DC this summer.
Congratulations, Patrick!

A Helpful Parent Resource regarding Bullying & Cyberbullying
The National Institutes of Health recognizes bullying as a significant public health problem. In the social media era, harassment and intimidation take place both offline and on, which amplifies the severity of aggression and stress in children and their parents. Children’s Hospital has made available this 15 minute “Just Kids Health” episode on Bullying & Cyberbullying to help parents understand bullying behaviors and how to address signs of bullying and prevent it. To best support our students, Westside is pleased to provide system-wide, bullying prevention programming to tackle bullying behavior.
