Mrs. Tara Ali Named WCHE 2017-2018 Teacher of the Year
We are very pleased to announce that the staff of West Cypress Hills Elementary elected Mrs. Tara Ali as our campus' Teacher of the Year for 2017-2018.
Mrs. Ali currently serves as a 1st grade teacher here at WCH. Although this is her 9th year of teaching, it's her 1st year of teaching at West Cypress (not to mention the years that she so very kindly served as one of our outstanding substitute teachers!)
She lives in our neighborhood with her husband, Karim, and their three children, Emma, Tyler, and Mason. She LOVES teaching and strives to build strong relationships in the community as well as in her classroom. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
Congratulations, Mrs. Ali! And, many thanks for all that you do to make West Cypress a great place to be.

The Lost & Found is Overflowing!
Have you noticed that you have a lot more closet space than you used to have at your house? If so, maybe it's because we have all of your coats and sweaters and hoodies in our Lost & Found.
With the frequent weather changes we've experienced lately, the Lost & Found has exploded with many very nice coats, sweaters, eyeglasses, lunch boxes, and water bottles. Please be sure to check our Lost & Found for your child(ren)'s belongings before April 20. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity if not claimed by April 20. Thanks!
Calling all Box Tops! Calling all Box Tops!
Please remember to save your Box Tops for Education and donate them to West Cypress Hills. The classroom with the most Box Tops each quarter wins a special prize.
And, be sure to remind Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, and Uncles to save theirs, too!
Box Tops for Education labels can be found on a number of grocery items. For more information about the products that support Box Tops for Education, click here. Box Tops can be placed on this form and turned in to your child's teacher. Thanks!
