Happy National Crayon Day! Today we celebrate the invention of crayons and the joy of coloring! Our students and staff guessed how many crayons were in a jar in the library. There were so many close guesses, but the answer was 96! One name was randomly selected from those that guessed the correct amount.
*Students: Stephania Lopez, Braylon Johnson, Kenzie Grant and the winner… Lylah Mauldin!
*Staff Members: Amanda Kouvolo, Ainsley Posey and the winner… Katie Patterson!
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participated!
Owner of @pizzainnpickens Mrs. Kim Acker stopped by to reward our newest teacher of the month, Mrs. Carly Bruner! Mrs. Bruner had the most parent votes and is one of our 5th grade teachers at West End. She is always busy planning fun things and new experiences for our 5th graders like the recent overnight field trip to Myrtle Beach. Thank you, Pizza Inn, for the teacher supply basket, coupons, and recognizing our super teachers all year! We appreciate your partnership! 🍕 🍎
What an amazing day at West End! Clemson University Football Coach Dabo Swinney came to speak to our students about being their best! His message was conveyed through this acronym:
B: Believe
E: Effort
S: Seize the Day
T: Toughness
It was an honor to have Coach and Mrs. Kathleen today! Every single person in the building now feels empowered to go out and be THEIR best! #WEmakeTigers #WEmakeWAVES 🧡🐬🧡
