🎉 CONGRATULATIONS, MRS. KATE OLIVER! Westhills Elementary is absolutely thrilled to celebrate Mrs. Kate Oliver, 5th grade Science and Social Studies teacher, for being named both the Westhills 5–8 Teacher of the Year and the Marshall County 5–8 District Teacher of the Year! Mrs. Oliver is a shining example of innovation, dedication, and heart. Her passion for helping students discover the wonder in science and the stories of our world is unmatched, and her impact reaches far beyond her classroom. Westhills is better because of her leadership, her kindness, and her unwavering commitment to excellence. We were honored to have Tammy Lewis, District Curriculum Specialist, join us for the surprise recognition, along with Mrs. Oliver’s family—her daughter Shelby, husband John, the Westhills administrative team, and her amazing fellow 5th grade teachers. Their presence made this special moment even more meaningful. Please help us celebrate this incredible accomplishment! 💙🐅 Congratulations, Mrs. Oliver! You represent the very best of Westhills and Marshall County! 🌟

Westhills Families, As we head into this season of gratitude, I want to say how truly thankful we are for each of you. Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us, for supporting our school, and for being such an important part of the Westhills community. We hope your break is filled with rest, joy, and moments that make your hearts full. Happy Thanksgiving from our Westhills family to yours! 🧡

Thanks to our school community all of the WES staff were treated to a coffee, refresher, or hot chocolate this morning from Tom's Coffee Truck. Students were also blessed with sweet Grateful Grams today from Beverly Ann's Cookies. Thank you for making us all feel special today. We hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! See you Monday, Dec. 1!
