West is Grateful!
The students from West Elementary are thankful for many things. These are their "Thankful Turkeys". Many kids said they were thankful family and friends. I am grateful to teach your amazing kids everyday.
REMINDER: There will be no school November 27-29 for Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful break, E-Hawks! 😊
Thanks to generous donations from E-Hawk middle and high school students, members of our community, Fareway, and Dollar Fresh, we have 44 Thanksgiving meals that are packed and ready for MS/HS students and their families!
Each bag contains a few side dishes (potatoes, green beans, etc), stuffing, and pumpkin to make dessert! Additionally, chicken, turkey, or pork will be added to each bag distributed.
Check out the details below for pick-up tomorrow. First come, first serve. Happy Thanksgiving, E-Hawks! 🦃🍂
